Humphrey Lyttelton Humph Plays Standards Recorded June 22, 23 and July 7 1960 Label : Colombia 1960 Marble Arch 2007 Sinetome 2012 Format : [email protected]
Humphrey was born on 23 May 1921 in Eton College, where his father was a famous housemaster and where he was subsequently educated. During the War, he served as an officer in the Grenadier Guards and, on discharge, studied for two years at Camberwell Art School. His incredibly varied career saw him work as a cartoonist for the Daily Mail and as a journalist for Punch, The Field and the British Airways magazine, Highlife. He also wrote seven books, formed a record company and was President of The Society for Italic Handwriting.
But it was as a jazz musician that Humphrey was best known. His love affair with the trumpet began in 1936, he formed his first band 12 years later and has since wrote over 120 original compositions.
In 1949, he signed a recording contract with EMI, resulting in a string of now much sought-after recordings in the Parlophone Super Rhythm Style series. In 1956, Humphrey's Bad Penny Blues was the first British jazz record to enter the Top 20.
