Campbell Burnap: Jazz trombonist and broadcaster
In terms of mileage, Campbell Burnap was the greatest of the jazz adventurers, constantly criss-crossing the world to play his trombone, sing and talk about the music. He was as big in Finland as he was in Australia. Amongst many unusual jobs he took on during his career, he worked as a ball-by-ball cricket commentator for British Telecom's "Cricketcall" during the 1990 County Championship and he became a regular broadcaster on jazz for various networks. He had such a delightful personality that his nickname was "Mr Charm".
