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!

We have one of the most well known trumpet solos this week from a huge Duke Ellington chart topper of 1941. In 1928, Jimmy Noone’s Apex Club Orchestra had some fun in the studio in Chicago, with some good old fashioned hokum! A song from the ‘50s that has received over 100 cover versions, our version comes from The Clovers. Also in the 50s, an early concept album, kinda, from Carman McRea and her record 'Birds of a Feather', featuring 'Bye Bye Blackbird'.

A quick look, this week, at the amazing career of Trombonist and band leader Si Zentner. Quite the journey and quite the recording, too, vintage, but sounding like it was recorded yesterday…….at the Savoy. A beloved British actor and novelty record maker, Jack Warner, brings us the most Englishy of English songs called “Tiggerty Boo”, a track off of a very nice album with Rosemary Clooney teamed up with The Duke.
