At Stanford, he earned both a bachelor’s and engineering degree, then founded Litton Engineering Labs to develop metal- and glass-working machinery used in vacuum tubes – technology which would later be utilized extensively by radio and radar. Subsequently, Litton expanded to make magnetrons, an integral component of radar systems.

DNR investigators discovered TCE contamination at Big William Spring and the airport – but not in jet fuel – attributed to Litton site but never revealed this information publicly; experts maintain that companies tend to avoid off-site investigations until forced into doing so.

Litton first made his mark on London jazz through Harry Gold’s Pieces of Eight band and later touring Britain and Russia with Kenny Ball. Additionally, Litton recorded for George Chisholm. By the noughties he had begun performing piano with Clare Teal’s group; one CD from this ensemble earned praise from James Asman in Jazz Rag magazine due to ‘his ability to play jazz piano that sparkles and swings in harmony with clarinettist.’

He regularly contributed to the jazz sections of Associated Board exams, appearing in radio broadcasts with Alyn Shipton. Orchestral work included playing for London Philharmonic, Colorado Symphony and Bergen Philharmonic among many others.

Personal Life

He was born 14 May 1957 in Grays, Essex and later lived in Bovingdon. Following formal piano studies in Colchester he entered London’s jazz scene through Steve Lane, Harry Gold’s Pieces of Eight band and then Kenny Ball’s Jazzmen before touring Middle East and Russia for several years with them.

He and his family could often be found camping together in Clay County’s Wallback area, gardening or canning vegetables in his free time, and serving at Community Chapel Church of Cross Lanes as longtime members.
