Clare Teal presents an hour of the best in big band, jazz and swing. We look into how Spirits of Rhythm and James Moody influenced Kurt Elling and James Morrison.

Clare Teal presents an hour of the best in big band, jazz and swing, from the earliest records to the latest releases. The heritage choice takes us back to 1939, with Gene Krupa and His Orchestra, and we consider that without Spirits of Rhythm and James Moody, would we ever have had Kurt Elling and James Morrison? Leading the show out is one of the leading big bands today, Hackney Colliery Band, with their infectious cover of 'Africa'.
