Jazz Century SOUNDING THE CENTURY

on BBC Radio 3

Russell Davies presents a 52-part history of jazz, from its earliest stirrings to the end of the millennium. 20: The Duke and the Count. As the Ellington and Basie bands established themselves, it became clear that they were very different. Duke's playing was rich in musical impressionism, created by the great individualists within the band, while the Count's was sharper, leaner and more aggressive. Producer Phil Speight
