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!
Every Sunday, 8.30am-9am
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.
One of the features this week comes from 1938. A special recording, in that it captures the moment when Artie Shaw successfully got Billy Holiday into the studio after a long time of asking, but there was a catch to the deal. Another king of swing features Helen Forrest who’s a bit bothered and bewildered, and from the swinging 1950s album Moonray, a fine performer who was just in Hong Kong, Sarah Hayes, who also says a quick hello to Colin.
