Herb Ellis

Episode 3 of 4

Moira Stuart continues her passion and discovery of jazz by exploring some of her favourite jazz guitarists.

Following on from last year's King's Of Cool, jazz lover Moira Stuart turns her attention to the Jazz Guitar Greats - exploring the personal lives and careers of some of her favourite jazz guitarists.

Moira talks candidly to Herb Ellis' son Mitch about what it was like growing up surrounded by some of the jazz greats including Oscar Peterson and Ella Fitzgerald.
