Humphrey Lyttelton - 1921-2008

[@dizzytitch1]

As a trumpet player I had always admired his playing strength and style. I went o see a performance of his in 1994 at the Mercury Theatre Colchester. After the gig had ended I decided to pay a qick visit to the "boys room" before leaving the theatre. Whilst standing there Humphrey Lyttleton appeared beside me. I couldn't help thinking that this was the weirdest way to meet an icon. I couldn't stop myself having a conversation with him, and we spoke of trumpet playing for several minutes.

Love Humph! Wish this whole programme was available to watch! Was just getting into it!

I remember well the days in the early sixties, when George Webb had the Hot club of London at the Shakespeare Hotel in Woolwich , London. George was always at the door to welcome patrons, and we were always treated to the best bands of the era and had really great sessions.

It would be great if you could upload the whole programme from which this was taken. Any chance of that?
