2021 will see the 100th anniversary of the birth of Humphrey Lyttelton, the doyen of British Jazz, who led the way for the jazz revival of the late 40s and 50s, and brought jazz to the mainstream with the first UK jazz record to reach the Top 20, ‘Bad Penny Blues’. Lyttelton was of course just as well-known for his broadcasting work, as the host of Radio 2’s The Best of Jazz and Radio 4’s I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue. ‘Salute to Humph’ is led by jazz trumpeter Chris Hodgkins with an impressive ten-piece band featuring top UK and US musicians who will really do Humph’s music justice.
