"Humph"

Humphrey Lyttelton & BEST OF JAZZ shows

For nearly 40 years "Humph" presented his own selection of new & old jazz, up-coming artists and a wealth of jazz knowledge in a hour long weekly program broadcast on BBC radio 2, Monday evening at 8.00 was the place to listen for many jazz fans, to hear the latest and best of current jazz issues, plus historic jazz with in-depth details of the players, the bands and their influences.

Having been lucky to acquire a large collection of these programs from the collection of a deceased friend, I would like to present a few from his collection. There is not much in the way of information that I can impart, most is already well known, so I offer these 12 year old radio shows as like listening through a time tunnel to a window in the past.
