Not bad, Andy, but I much prefer this one: http://tinyurl.com/5kbdkb,
which displays Humph's skills not only as a trumpeter but also as
clarinettist, composer and arranger.  It includes a sensational
unaccompanied clarinet trio in which Humph joins forces with two of the
finest reed players the UK has ever produced, John Barnes and the late
Bruce Turner.
