<p>Stan was the pianist on 'Bad Penny Blues' which was recorded at
an ordinary session for which he was paid in the normal manner. He
always resented not having been paid royalties for the tune (which
had its roots in Yank Lawson's I'm Praying Humble).<br>

remember him as a member of Humph's band doing one
of the Ellington-Blanton duets at an Edinburgh gig.
Maybe it was "Pitter, Panther, Patter" and
interesting though not an ideal performance. The
interesting thing was a kind of blurriness of Stan's
playing, not crisp articulation but a forward moving
flow, which is what he brought to Humph's band. I'm
sure the articulation would have been clearer on a
newer piano requiring less internal attention of the
sort Stan ate by providing. It was intriguing to
hear the change from Pyne to Greig at a time when I
was hearing more than at any other time Humph's
band.</div>

give money to, to cite the famous Ellington retort
to Humph on the "gimmick" which enabled him to keep
the band together. The original interview, which
involved Humph and John Dankworth, was excerpted to
include the quip during a BBC hour of John Dankworth
from the archives, marking -- would you believe --
the putting up of a blue official plaque to mark the
saxophonist/ composer etc's sometime whereabouts.
There wasn't exactly a plethora of information about
any other musicians, and the captioning as seems
usual when the BBC deigns to do any jazz thing on TV
seemed to have been contrived by fans of cliche
serving an apprenticeship in children's broadcasting
