BillF,

Thanks for checking out my archived radio shows.

They're updated every Wednesday

Don't forget to listen this to Friday's stream from 8p-midnight DST

I'll be featuring Roy Haynes forthe entire four hours to celbrate his 83rd birthday. It should be fun

The Best of Jazz online from BBC Radio 2.

86 year-old trumpeter, Humphrey Lyttelton, who has presented the show for 39 years, announced that next week's will be his last. As this week's included records by Clark Tracey, Lew Tabackin, Roland Kirk, Helen Humes, Woody Herman, Junior Mance and Dave Tough, I shall certainly miss him!

Ah! loca in the hoos-a. Snow melted? Lines up?

BillF thank you for the word on Humph. Was looking over "The Other Parlophones 1951-54" on Sackville records recently, and in another place saw his name associated with mentoring Stacey Kent. Long live the Humphrey.

Yes, a great man! He's been devoted to jazz ever since he bunked off school to hear Louis Armstrong in the thirties!

No kidding ! What a sad day this is - but great that he's remained 'on air' for so long. First heard his show back in 1974 and was fortunate enough to meet him after one of his gigs and to get him to sign his book a few years ago. Put in an in-person request for him to play some Horace Silver (not sure if it was played but he's the type of guy that would honour such a thing if possible, I'm sure).

In 3 days it will be 55 years since Humphrey Lyttleton gave me my very first interview. It was in his London office and I was not only very nervous, I was awful. Loved those early Parlophones, which is why I went to London. An amazing man.

Ken Clarke's Jazz Greats online from BBC Radio 4.

British Conservative politician and jazz fan (strange, but true!) Kenneth Clarke discusses the life and music of Max Roach with altoist Peter King.
