Our Take

In his latest opus, the legendary Humphrey Lyttelton teams up with his European compatriots for an album that is as whimsical as it is musically ambitious. From the jaunty brass melodies to the playful rhythms, "Humph & His European Friends" is a delightful romp through the world of jazz.

Lyttelton's signature trumpet playing shines brightly throughout the record, effortlessly weaving in and out of the lush arrangements provided by his talented bandmates. Tracks like "Swinging in Paris" and "Grooving in London" perfectly capture the essence of a breezy European afternoon, while the haunting ballad "Midnight in Prague" takes listeners on a journey through the streets of a distant city.

The real magic of this album lies in the chemistry between Lyttelton and his European friends. Their playful banter and infectious energy infuse each track with a sense of joy and spontaneity that is truly infectious. Whether you're a die-hard jazz aficionado or a casual listener looking for something new, "Humph & His European Friends" is sure to leave you tapping your feet and humming along.

So grab a glass of wine, put on your beret, and let Humphrey Lyttelton take you on a musical journey through the heart of Europe. You won't regret it. Cheers, darling!
