4/4. Russell Davies is joined by arranger/composer/ conductors Barry Forgie and Steve Gray to analyse how Jelly Roll Morton's 1906 King Porter Stomp , originally a piano solo, has survived reinvention for jazz orchestra in the 1920s by Fletcher Henderson and again by Benny Goodman in the 1930s, and was revived twice by Gil Evans - in the late 50s and in 1975. Producer Graham Pass
