Lennie HerdFor more than 40 years Lennie Herd has been the first choice for anyone who wanted the best mainstream dixieland trumpeter in the country. Throughout that time he’s been a secret known only to musicians but with the creation of the Scottish Jazz All Stars his particular brand of hard swinging lead trumpet will become more recognised throughout the land.
He was in at the start of the trad boom in Scotland when he was one of the founders of the beloved George Penman Jazzmen then he went abroad and played in France and America.
He came back to help found the Glasgow Jazz Festival and played with a number of Britain’s best musicians including George Chisholm, Alan Barnes, Terry Lightfoot, and Humphrey Lyttleton.
