Humphrey Lyttelton and his Band, Regent Centre, Christchurch

Hurrah for Humph; at 86 he's still got that swing.

The ever popular jazz trumpet star, and host of that incomparable Radio Show, may not have a clue whether he'd been to Christchurch before or not, and he couldn't quite remember the titles of all of this numbers either - but he certainly hadn't forgotten how to play.

And though he obviously doesn't have quite the stamina of his heyday - allowing the excellent, and most rather younger members of his seven-piece outfit to take most of the solos - Humph blended in seamlessly, delivered the in-between humour, plugged the group's latest, on sale in the foyer, CDs, and was even allowed to sing - once.

There were a couple of early classics, the 1921 blues number, Trouble In Mind, and a swing version of Frankie and Johnny.

Essentially, though, this was a mixture of big band style from the '40s onwards, with silky smooth tributes to Ellington, including Satin Doll, and Humph's own Echoes of Duke, to the pulsating contemporary - finding inspiration in the traffic-pounding M25, and even an artwork down in Somerset called the Wicker Woman.

And would you believe, they've recently recorded with Radiohead - it's what keeps Humph young.
