Goodbye to Humphrey Lyttleton - musician, author, broadcaster, wit, socialist. Reassuring to learn that he turned down a knighthood.
"Humph's intransigence, his determination to 'play as I please' was admirable; he was, like Ronnie Scott, the perfect ambassador for jazz." (George Melly)
"Bad Penny Blues", his only hit record; we all enjoyed it, Humph didn't.
Adieu Maestro.
