Humphrey Lyttelton- The Other Parlophones 1951-1954 (CD)
This CD includes the 1951 sessions with members of Australia's Graeme Bell Band who were on tour in the U.K. at that time. They are notable for the late 1920s feel of the ensembles and the unique solo offerings of alto saxophonist Ade Monsbourgh. Lyttelton tapped into the rich expatriate Caribbean musical community for this early fusion of jazz and Caribbean rhythms (the Habanera touch). Saxophonists Freddie Grant and Bertie King, pianist Mike McKenzie, and guitarist Fitzroy Coleman are all featured alongside Lyttelton's potent trumpet and the warm glow of Wally Fawkes' clarinet. Marie Bryant is featured in four well chosen standards.
