I PLAY AS I PLEASE; The Memoirs of an Old Etonian Trumpeter Lyttelton, Humphrey
JB13820 MacGibbon & Kee Publishers London, United Kingdom 1954 First Edition Hard Cover Good Red cloth on boards. Volume has minor edgewear, sun and shadow marks, the spine is cocked from shelving, foxing to page edges. The book is tight and the pages are clean. This is an early book, by a man who became a household word in the British jazz world. A musician whose work spanned 60 years or more. After reading Wikipedia, his own Website and the obituary from the London Times I would venture to say that is was a Renaissance man. His interests so varied that while his preeminence is as a jazz man, that would be limiting "Humph", to only one side of his astounding diversities. Musician, Composer, Arranger, Trumpeter, Cartoonist, Radio Personality, Author, Writer, Calligrapher and I may have missed a couple. $50.00USD Click here to order or message the dealer
