One of my favorite British jazz trumpeters...

If you are not familiar with his work pick up the "The Best Of Humphrey Lyttelton" 3 disk set on EMI...

Wow that's very sad for me. In the last decade or more, he has also been hosting a very funny radio quiz show called I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, many archived episodes of which you can hear online at www.bbc.co.uk/radio

Here's a great obituary on the bbc site for him :
