I didn't realize he played with Dudley Moore. I love some of those recordings. Under-appreciated, I think due to Dudley Moore's acting career.

My father had a Dudley Moore record. It was out of place in his collection, as the vast majority was Brasilian jazz/samba.

I wish I still had that record collection.

Luckily my dad (when young) hung out with a group of friends who were jazz nuts - and my dad had some cool records too. Mostly UK jazz.

I wrote a little piece which is mostly what has appeared here but also has links to Alyn Shipton and John Fordham's excellent Jeff Clyne obituaries in UK national newspapers.
