Humph - bandleader, cartoonist, writer, chairman of BBC Radio 4's I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, president of the Society for Italic Handwriting and doyen of jazz trumpeters. In conversation with June Knox-Mawer, Humphrey Lyttelton reflects on his extraordinary life; from schooldays at Eton and playing out `Roll Out the Barrel' outside Buckingham Palace on VE Day, to the formation of his band in 1948 and his emergence as `the godfather of British jazz'. In his incredibly varied career he was a cartoonist for the Daily Mail, a journalist for Punch and even formed his own record company. In this recording he shares his joy of music with his beloved humour. It's a wry, witty and wonderful story told in his characteristically urbane style and peppered with some of his own great jazz favourites. 2 CDs. 1 hr 54 mins.
