'Mainstream' was a term coined in the early 1950s to describe a more arranged style of Jazz sitting somewhere between Trad\/Dixieland and Bebop\/Modern \\u2013 it is closely akin to Small Band Swing of the 1930s\/40s. The main protagonist in the UK is usually held to be Humphrey Lyttelton, but musicians like Kenny Baker and his associates had be playing it before Lyttelton embarked on it in the mid-50s.\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe problem in compiling this collection is that there were very few working bands playing the style. The Jazz clubs of the 1950s and early 60s were very Trad. Bands such as Lyttelton's and Fairweather-Brown ploughed very lonely furrows. It was a different matter with broadcasts and recordings where various aggregations fronted by Kenny Baker and sundry Lyttelton alumni got regular outings. As with most attempts to label music 'Mainstream' was inclined to be a bit blurred at the edges. To illustrate the point tracks by Beboppers such as John Dankworth and John Cox are included to show that they slot in without sounding out of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eSeveral tracks are previously unissued and it is hoped that the CD serves as both an introduction to the style and explode some myths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fairweather-Brown All Stars - Scoot\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fairweather-Brown All Stars - Airmail Special\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSandy Brown's Jazz Band - Russian Lullaby\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSandy Brown's Jazz Band - Squeeze Me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSandy Brown's Jazz Band - September In The Rain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumphrey Lyttelton \u0026amp; His Band - Do The Beaulieu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumphrey Lyttelton \u0026amp; His Band - New Saturday Jump\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumphrey Lyttelton \u0026amp; His Band - Jeep's Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumphrey Lyttelton \u0026amp; His Band - Bei Mir Bist Du Schon\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumphrey Lyttelton \u0026amp; His Band - Swingin' On The Gate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dill Jones Trio - Moonglow\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKenny Baker's Dozen - Bugler's Lament\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKenny Baker's Ensemble - Time's A-Wastin'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKenny Baker's Half Dozen - Act One, Scene One\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKenny Baker's Dozen - Too Cool For The Blues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Dill Jones Trio - Deed I Do\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFat John's Band - Ghana\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFat John's Band - Chicken 'n' Dumplings\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFat John's Band - The Themes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe John Dankworth Seven - I Hear Music\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe John Dankworth Seven - Leon Bismark\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Chisholm \u0026amp; His Jive Five - Rosetta\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55134916608385,"sku":"1028531","price":8.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/31zMd62JpyL._SL1500_12e440d2-4a1b-4ffa-b856-a2d51b825768.jpg?v=1767184137","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1028531","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
