Music aficionado and band leader Colin Aitchison presents the musicians who were the huge, million-selling recording stars of an often forgotten era.
Before Bruno Mars, there was Bing Crosby, before the likes of Adele, there was Billie Holiday ... and before Justin Bieber ... well, where to start!?!
There’s some terrific music and stories from the ‘20s, ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s, plus a few laughs!

The Music Goes Round and Round
This week Colin features the "Queen Of The Trumpet" Miss Valaida Snow, and a recording made in the Abbey Road of 1936. But, it’s not just the music, Valaida had quite the story to tell by the time she got back to the United States years later. Also listen up for a side from Whispering Jack Smith, our oldest recording of the morning, from 1926. The Ames Brothers, Coleman Hawkins, Roy Hamilton and Henry Hall leading the BBC dance orchestra round out our vintage playlist

Rhythm and Rhymes
主持人：Colin Aitchison
Some tricky trumpet playing this week from the amazing Jabbo Smith, making a Spanish connection. Legend Fletcher Henderson is featured with a truly all star band, recorded just before going on to bridge the gap between Dixieland and swing. There’s a swinging nursery rhyme for the kids, plus a BIG, symphonic tune-and-a-half from Ronnie Hilton, covering a Perry Como best seller.
