Humphrey Lyttelton
Born:
Humphrey Lyttelton is descended from a long line of land-owning, political, military, clerical, scholastic and literary forebears. Not a musician among them. He claims to have most in common with a former Humphrey Lyttelton who was executed for complicity with Guy Fawkes in the Gunpowder plot. He was born on May 23rd, 1921 in Eton College, where his father was a famous housemaster, and where he was subsequently educated. During the war, he served as an officer in the Grenadiar Guards and, on demobilisation, studied for two years at Camberwell Arts School. In 1949, he joined the London Daily Mail as cartoonist, during which time he also wrote the story-line for Trog's 'Flook' cartoon" Trog being the nom de plume of clarinetist Wally Fawkes. He formed his first jazz band in 1948, after spending a year with George Webb’s Dixielanders, a band which pioneered New Orleans-style jazz in Britain
Bill Evans: At The BBC 1965
by Jack Bowers
Pianist Bill Evans' only performances at London's British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) were taped in March 1965 and broadcast in May and December of that year in two half-hour segments. As it is impossible to invoke Evans' name without adding the word “legendary," that will be done now to avoid needless repetition. This was Evans' ...
Bill Evans: At The BBC 1965
by Jack Kenny
Producer Zev Feldman recalls having once purchased a laserdisc of this BBC session--an early testament to his devotion to the music of Bill Evans.

Bill Evans: At The BBC 1965
by Joshua Weiner
Jazz 625 was a British television show, hosted by trumpeter Humphrey Lyttelton, that ran from 1964 to 1966 on BBC2; the name comes from the higher-resolution 625-line UHF system that the station employed for broadcast. The show featured a variety of British musicians as well as top American artists such as Art Blakey, Jimmy Giuffre, Dave ...
Ornette Coleman's and Horace Silver's "Lonely Woman" — A Disambiguation
by Artur Moral
Reality is filled with confusion and misunderstandings; some are suggestive or creative, while others are disappointing or, worse, malicious. The jazz world is no stranger to the first type: specific compositions are often confused or misidentified as if they were the same. Usually, this happens because of similar melodies or titles that are sometimes identical. This ...
Alan Barnes & David Newton: 'Tis Autumn
by Neil Duggan
You may have heard of the 10,000-hour rule, perhaps from Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers, where he describes how it takes around 10,000 hours of intensive practice to master complex skills like playing the saxophone or the piano. That amounts to around 20 hours a week for a decade. Imagine, then, the calibre of performance that saxophonist ...
Jazz 625: Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers
On March 7, 1965, Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers appeared on the BBC-TVs Jazz 625, hosted by Humphrey Lyttelton. The video of the performance was recently colorized, which gives the musicians enormous dimension and visual personality. The music was always great. The color just makes the presentation a little greater. The Jazz Messengers on this ...

In the interview included here with the show's presenter Jez Nelson, Green reflects on a forty year career in jazz. It is fitting that this fine record, only his fourth as leader, sees its release in the year Green marks ...
Chris Barber, Giant of British Jazz, Dies at Age 90
Born in 1930, Chris Barber was one of the leading figures in European jazz. Together with Kenny Ball and Acker Bilk, he was one of the “Three B’s” who defined traditional jazz in Britain and spearheaded the “Trad” revival of the late 1950s and early 1960s. His interest in jazz began while he was evacuated from ...
