Good evening. I'm Cleo Laine. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:03 | |
And I met John Dankworth in 1951 | 0:00:03 | 0:00:07 | |
when he had a band called the Johnny Dankworth Seven. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
He hired me as his singer. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
In 1958, we got married, | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
and we had a long and successful productive career together. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:25 | |
Sadly he died this year | 0:00:26 | 0:00:30 | |
and the world...not only the world but, I think, the family first | 0:00:30 | 0:00:38 | |
were at a loss as to what to do without him, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:43 | |
especially me, as we were joined at the hip. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
He was an amazing man, | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
and tonight, I think we would like to show from the BBC archives | 0:00:50 | 0:00:56 | |
what a great player and composer John Dankworth turned out to be. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:03 | |
Mr Dankworth, Mr Lyttelton, the floor is yours. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:03 | |
-Good morning, gentlemen. -Good morning. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
Johnny and I are both bandleaders. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
What is the secret to keeping a band together as long as you do? | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
You've got to have a gimmick, Humphrey. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
The one I use... I use a gimmick. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
It's giving money... | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
Yes, I can see that's very popular! | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |

The idea is that it's a bit of a take-off | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
on Scrooge being visited by the three ghosts | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
of jazz... of Christmas past, present and future. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
We've altered it to jazz past, present and future, | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
and used an old Christmas carol. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
Dick, you play at B, a solo, | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
keep it mainly round the melody, sort of Armstrongian and trad. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:04 | |
Gus, you play at D, | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
keep it fairly straightforward and so it might be mistaken as mainstream. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:12 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:14:12 | 0:14:14 | |
And Ken Wheeler, G, | 0:14:14 | 0:14:19 | |
Ken Wheeler at G, can you blind us with science? | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
No, at E. Blind us with science as much as possible | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
with a sort of ultra-progressive solo. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
You'll find the backing might help you there. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:31 | |
Let's have a go at it. Shall we, Jack? | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
Yes. I'll take this as a rough, John. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
All right? Stand by, please. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
Stand by. Here we come. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
I'll give you a bar in. One, two, three, four... | 0:14:40 | 0:14:43 | |
Now I'd like to sing a very beautiful ballad written by Johnny Scott | 0:16:01 | 0:16:07 | |
and the words were written by Caryl Brahms. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
It's called Lazy Woman, or Woman Talk. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:15 | |
# We sit alone | 0:16:26 | 0:16:29 | |
# In the shade | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
# Using the good day God made | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
# Just gossiping till it's noon | 0:16:38 | 0:16:43 | |
# Soon | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
# What fazes you | 0:16:46 | 0:16:50 | |
# And what thrills me | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |

a tune which was actually written by Charlie Parker. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:55 | |
The first time I heard it was on record. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:57 | |
The second time I heard it was in a little club in 52nd street, The Three Deuces. | 0:41:57 | 0:42:02 | |
There were three musicians, us three musicians, | 0:42:02 | 0:42:05 | |
a hooker and a dog in the place. | 0:42:05 | 0:42:07 | |
Nobody else. The place was empty, and Bird said, "What would you like to hear?" | 0:42:07 | 0:42:12 | |
And I shouted "Donna Lee." | 0:42:12 | 0:42:15 | |
And they said, "Play Donna." | 0:42:15 | 0:42:17 | |
