The Humph Trust was set up in the name of British jazz musician Humphrey Lyttelton, to raise and distribute tailored funding that will support young jazz musicians in building their careers. Started by Humph's son, Stephen Lyttelton, The Humph Trust was launched on 25 April 2010 with A Celebration Concert at the HMV Apollo, London. The Concert featured the current Humphrey Lyttelton Band joined by former members Wally Fawkes (clarinet), Eddie Taylor (drums), Karen Sharp (saxophone), John Barnes (tenor saxophone), John Picard (trombone) and Eddie Harvey (piano). Guest singers and musicians included: Elkie Brooks, Jools Holland, Stacey Kent, Jim Tomlinson, Charlie Watts, Acker Bilk, Kenny Ball, Tina May, Louise Parker, Annie Whitehead, Sue Richardson, Ben Waters and Axel Zwingelberger. The show also featured comedy from Jack Dee, Barry Cryer, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden, Rob Brydon, Jeremy Hardy, Sandi Toksvig, Tony Hawks, Andy Hamilton and Colin Sell from the BBC panel show I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. A recording of the show was broadcast by BBC Radio 4 on Boxing Day 2010. The Humph Award (originally The Humphrey Lyttelton Royal Academy of Music Jazz Award) was set up in conjunction with the Royal Academy of Music and is awarded annually to an outstanding student from the Academy's Jazz Department. Trumpeter Tom Walsh was the inaugural recipient of The Humph Award and opened The Celebration Concert with his own quartet, playing A Song For My Father by Horace Silver. The Humph Award winner 2011 was Nadim Teimoori. As part of his award he has played with The Humphrey Lyttelton Band at Ronnie Scott’s and will also be performing this year’s fundraiser concert to take place at The Tabernacle on 20 October 2011.〔()〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Humph Trust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
