From BLUES IN BRITAIN... Kit Packham’s latest CD offers a fine selection of jump-jive tunes with some amusing and topical lyrics. Apart from a cover of Louis Jordan’s “Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens” all the numbers come from within the band, Kit writing five, trumpeter Simon Da Silva and keyboardist Perry White two each, with sax player Tracey Mendham, guitarist Steve Knight and bassist Olly Blanchflower one each. Kit plays sax and sings most of the songs, with Tracey and Perry stepping up to the mike once each. More Info »

Humorous blues lyrics don't come any better - cleverer or funnier - nowadays than those from Kit Packham's pen, and there are two or three new examples here which are as good as anything I've heard from him before. "We Don't Normally Work This Cheap" in particular is exceptionally witty, and actually had me laughing out loud the first time I heard it. "Cleaning Up My Act" too, is as amusing a piece of 1920s-style-jazz-vaudeville as you'll hear this side of the Bonzos. - Rating: 8 - Paul Lewis (Blueprint magazine) More Info »

It’s been a good while since I last heard from these pioneers of the British jump’n’jive scene. Band members may have come and gone, but sax and vocals man Packham has kept the faith and once again confirms his position at the very top of the compositional tree as far as this particular sub-genre of the blues is concerned. - Paul Lewis (copyright 1999 Blueprint magazine) More Info »
