Humphrey's Choice |
 |
|
Kirsty Young’s castaway on Desert Island Discs this week is the veteran jazz musician and radio presenter Humphrey Lyttelton. To Radio 4 listeners he’s best known as Chairman Humph who has spent more than thirty years picking his bewildered way through the innuendo and mayhem of I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue.
But his first love is jazz – as a child, he was always fascinated by music and when he was a teenager it was Louis Armstrong who inspired him to take up the trumpet. Fittingly, Armstrong went on to hail Humph as 'Britain's top trumpetman'. Now aged 85, Humph is still recording and touring with his band and says that he finds he's kept awake at night by new ideas for music they can play together. |
