		Humphrey Lyttelton was born on 23 May 1921, in Eton College where his father was a famous housemaster and where he was subsequently educated.
		Humphrey returned the favour in 1956 when his band played alongside the Armstrong All Stars in a string of London concerts, at the end of which he plonked a homemade crown on Satchmo's head and, belatedly, crowned him King Of Jazz.
		Humphrey was honoured with a lifetime achievement award at both the Post Office British Jazz Awards in April 2000 and at the first BBC Jazz Awards in 2001.

		Humphrey Richard Adeane Lyttelton (born 23 May 1921), also known as Humph, is a well-known British jazz musician and broadcaster, and chairman of the BBC radio programme I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue.
		Lyttelton's persona was a big part of the success: he was a straight-man surrounded by mayhem, a very similar comedy device to the role of Kenneth Horne in Round the Horne a generation earlier.
		Lyttelton is well known for his ancient and disreputable Volvo 200 series estate car, in which he has reportedly clocked up over a quarter of a million miles.

	New Statesman - Class conscious - Andrew Martin praises the pioneers of revivalist jazz
		On Monday 31 May, I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue returns to Radio 4, presided over as always by Humphrey Lyttelton, who not only went to Eton but was actually born there, his father, George, being an "assistant master" at the school.
		But Lyttelton seems a positive social contortionist when you remember that he was also the leading trumpet player of the jazz movement in the mid-Fifties.
		Meanwhile, somebody should think about capitalising on Lyttelton's Clue fame by reissuing the early volumes of his book, in which he is frequently just as amusing as he is on radio.

		By this time Lyttelton had switched to playing the mouth-organ, but, realizing the instrument's limitations, he acquired a trumpet, which he taught himself to play.
		By this time, however, Lyttelton's personal style had matured and he was very much his own man. He was also heavily involved in many areas outside the performance of music.
		In the early 80s Lyttelton formed his own recording company, Calligraph, and by the end of the decade numerous new albums were available.

	The Scotsman - S2 - Humphrey Lyttelton and Elkie Brooks
		IT’S 40 years since a teenage Elkie Brooks first performed with the veteran band leader, trumpeter and clarinettist Humphrey Lyttelton - hence the "reunion" billing for this joint Edinburgh Jazz Festival appearance.
		Lyttelton opened with an appealing selection of swing-accented numbers, his paucity of puff - which is hardly surprising at 82 - offset by wonderfully seasoned phrasing and touches of his trademark impishness, as well as some nifty soloing from his six band colleagues.
		He introduced his former protégé midway through the first half, and the rest of the night was dominated by big blues ballads.

	Buddy Tate and Humphrey Lyttelton - Swinging Scorpio \| CJAD
		Although Buck Clayton was no longer playing trumpet by 1974 due to health problems, he was still writing swinging compositions.
		On this CD reissue, tenor saxophonist Buddy Tate and trumpeter Humphrey Lyttelton (both of whom double on clarinet) perform eight of Buck's tunes in an English septet also including altoist Bruce Turner, Kathleen Stobart (on tenor and baritone), pianist Mick Pyne, bassist Dave Green and drummer Tony Mann.
		The material (and many of the sidemen) may be obscure, but the music is fairly enjoyable; Clayton's arranged ensembles are an added plus.

	I Play As I Please - Humphrey Lyttelton - Song Listings
		Topped and tailed by four bonus tracks, this is an otherwise straightforward (and certainly long-awaited) reissue of Humphrey Lyttelton's best-known and most all-pervasively influential album, the 1957 set that he titled, fittingly, after the first volume of his own autobiography.
		In terms of numerical strength, three bands appear on this album -- the seven-piece Humphrey Lyttelton Band, an expanded 12-man big band, and the so-called Humphrey Lyttelton Paseo Band, a nine-piece that eschewed horns for flutes, then added a riot of percussion to the mix.
		It's a heady blend that had traditionalists wringing their hands in despair when the album first appeared, but time (and, of course, the eventual acceptance of many of the ideas Lyttelton first posited) readily vindicates the album's audacity.
