Dave Gelly presents the first of six programmes on that truly British phenomenon, traditional jazz or "trad".
In the early 1960s between the first rock 'n' roll craze and the Beatles, "trad" grew into a full-blown youth cult with its own dress, dances and songs. Gelly sets the scene and plays the music while the stars tell the story of trad as they saw it from the bandstand.
This week, music and talk from Kenny Ball , Acker Bilk and Chris Barber.
