Johnny Dankworth

[saf]

Hohnny Dankworth has died aged 82.

I remember the only time I saw him and Cleo Laine perform with the rest of the family at The Stables. They put on a great pre Christmas show and seemed to thoroughly enjoy entertaining a packed house. Both he and Cleo received honours for their contributions to music.

Here's a wiki piece about him:
