Acker was a radio regular over the best part of forty years
on programmes such as Jazz Club and Saturday Club and the eponymously-titled
Acker’s Away and Acker ‘Arf ‘Our. He also cropped up as a regular panellist on Radio
2’s Jazz Score.
By way of a tribute here’s my recording of the first
programme from the sixth series of Jazz
Score. Asking the questions is Benny Green, With Acker are fellow jazz
musicians, all of a similar vintage: Humphrey Lyttelton, Chris Barber and Alan
Elsdon. The programme was broadcast on 7 September 1985.
