HUMPHREY LYTTELTON (1921 – 2008)

“As the vanquished charwoman of time begins to Shake n’ Vac the shagpile of eternity, I notice that we have just run out of time.”

 

Jazz Services and Jazz UK are very saddened to hear of the passing of Humphrey Lyttelton, a key figure in British jazz for more than sixty years and a tireless advocate for the music. The Guardian's obituary is accompanied by John Fordham's thoughts on Humph.

 

BBC Radio 4 will present a tribute day to Humphrey Lyttelton on June 15th.
