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!

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.

This week, Colin is chatting with special guest Lance Liddle who runs the award winning Jazz blog 'Be-Bop Spoken Here'. Lance chooses some of the outstanding records that have influenced and inspired him over the years, and what a line up he has, including Freddy Randall, Stan Kenton, Stan Getz, Johnny Desmond, and possibly the longest session we’ve ever played on VCT, from The Jazz Couriers.
