But your stuff is pretty darn rare and, like your blogspot, very enjoyable.

It's a minor miracle that I still have the tapes, and a major one that they haven't disintegrated. I found two more, one with the band plus Archie Sempel, and one with Neva Raphaello backed by pianist Mike McKenzie's trio, with Humph joining in.<br /><br />There should be more, but that's all I have come across, so far. I'm glad you like them.Chris Albertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12056345320709233401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6398250808488627384.post-75052166147443308812011-11-02T22:45:29.715-04:002011-11-02T22:45:29.715-04:00Humph - Shake It and Break It - Thank you for that...Humph - Shake It and Break It - Thank you for that Chris, and for "Chicago Buzz" a few days ago. Humph recorded in the concert hall and obviously in the studio but I think this is the first time that recordings have turned from his old home territory at 100 Oxford Street. Amazing that such great stuff should be turning up even now. Talk about the Dead Sea Scrolls - except of course that this music remains wonderfully alive! Thanks again.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15048851302850892808noreply@blogger.com
