About the Author:
A national treasure, Humphrey Lyttelton is very much a Renaissance man. Son of a famous Eton housemaster, he is descended from a long line of land-owning, political, military, clerical, scholastic and literary forebears. He served in the Grenadier Guards in the Second World War, and founded his first Jazz band in 1948. He and his band remain as in-demand as ever. Every Monday night since 1967, Humph has written and presented BBC's The Best of Jazz and he is, famously, Chairman of the anarchie, award-winning radio programme. I'm Sorry, I Haven't a Clue. He has written nine books and composed over two hundred tunes, and has Honorary Doctorates at the universities of Warwick, Loughborough, Durham, Keele, Hertford and de Montfort.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A feast for all his many fans and admirers, this is the great Humphrey Lyttelton's last book, a sparkling autobiographical kaleidoscope of memories, anecdotes, and entertaining stories from his colourful life, from his childhood as the son of a famous Eton Housemaster, through to his role as the irrepressible chairman of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. A Renaissance man - musician, writer, cartoonist, calligrapher and broadcaster - Humph was descended from a long line of land-owning, political, literary, clerical, scholastic and literary forebears. One of his more notorious relatives was executed for his part in the Gun Powder Plot! Last Chorus draws on some of Humph's long-lost auto-biographical writings, as well a wealth of other material, including his never-before-seen private diaries, plus cartoons and Whether sneaking off when a child to buy his first trumpet, or wading ashore in Italy during World War II with a rifle in one hand and a trumpet in the other, or playing alongside such jazz greats as Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, Humph was very much his own man, and he comes vividly to life in this engaging and witty self-portrait. Every Monday night from 1967 until 2008, Humphrey Lyttelton wrote and presented BBC's The Best of Jazz, and he was, famously, Chairman of the anarchic, award-winning radio programme, I'm Sorry, I Haven't A Clue. He wrote nine books, and composed over two hundred tunes, and has Honorary Doctorates at the universities of Warwick, Loughborough, Durham, Keele, Hertford and de Montfort. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001695055
