    Humphrey Lyttelton introduced me to jazz aged 13 via my radio. 12 years later I played piano with him for all of 3 minutes. Trad. jazz makes me happy .

    Memories, 68 yrs ago at the London Jazz Club. 100 Oxford Street. I’m 90 now and still love Humphs style.

    Artistic,witty legendary man - raconteur,broadcaster and musician! Thank you Humph - you are much missed in my life!

    Humph - a legend. Both musically but comedically, one of the absolute greatest.

    Bravo! Bravo!
    What I know about England could fit in a thimble. I'm a Southern Californian. And like most of us here, I don't have to know anything beyond my immediate horizon.
    I didn't know that he served in the British army, but I guess that shouldn't be a surprise. I learned that from this video.
    The pictures and the cartoons that accompany this piece are delightful.
    Anyhow, this was all before he devolved into that Dirty Old Man as the host of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. And I not only enjoy that show, but also I admire him greatly ( but then, I'm not well).
    And please give my best regards to Samantha!

    Brings back so many memories. I remember listening to Humph at Osterley Jazz Club the night President Kennedy was shot. What I remember most about the evening was that Humph's glasses were held together with a sticking plaster.

    Amazing life on the "wrong side of the tracks" for an Eaton boy.
    Shows you the magnetic power of sincerely felt and played music -especially in Jazz.

      "Eton".
      Eaton is a village near Congleton (between Stoke and Manchester).

    My hero!! I read his autobiography when I was 17 in 1958. So talented - and what a sense of humour!

    Humph was my late Dad's all time favourite musician (and comedian). Bad Penny Blues will be the final song at his upcoming funeral. Thanks Humph for all the joy you gave him.

    Jiving at The Humph Club, 100 Oxford Street London, an iconic 1950's trad jazz band venue. Great memories of the 1950's

      Yes! 100 Oxford st! What a heaving mass of sweaty, duffle coated,black stockinged humanity it was too - they don't dance like that anymore! Remember the skip jiving style? I wish I could experience a 1950's jazz club scene just one more time!

    I have listened to Humph since I was a young lad in the early 60's on Humphrey Lyttleton's Jazz Hour on Long-Wave radio. Later I played with him and several of the chaps also present on this number. I have been very lucky indeed.

      Brian Fairey. Me too. We must be ancient. Remember the Ministry of Health recipes during the War. I guess we're eating the right things to stay around so long. Were you evacuated?. Getting away from the bands, try Judith Durham, Shimmy like my sister Kate. Good singer and good backing Band
