0171 Wally Fawkes [Flook Digs Jazz] FLAC 4(13.30)

Contributed by delmonico, who writes:-
Canadian born clarinettist Wally Fawkes, who is as well know for his long running cartoons of Flook in the Daily Mail and other publications as his music, is heard here in a session with his 'Troglodytes' from 1959. His pen name is Trog which explains the name of his group. An example of his work is shown on this ep cover.
Wally was a long time member of the Humphrey Lyttelton group and his brilliant satirical political cartoons were appreciated by many of those he portrayed. He never suffered fools gladly as this quote from him displays:
"I've always had a problem of trying to demolish the superior. I remember when Lady Rothermere [wife of the Mail's owner] was introduced to me, the person who drew Flook, and she said: 'Oh how marvellous! How is your furry little curly thing?' Without thinking, I said: 'Fine thanks. How's yours?' I've never been able to stop doing things like that"
Born in 1924, he is still alive, as far as is known, but no longer playing or drawing professionally.
