Ken Clarke's Jazz Greats

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

2/4 Former chancellor of the Exchequer Ken Clarke indulges himself in his passion for jazz. The huge talent of tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon was matched only by his physical appearance - Long Tall Dexter was a giant in all respects. Yet he failed to fulfil his rightful place in jazz history, falling into decline in the 1950s. Ken Clarke talks to Norway's leading jazz singer Karin Krog, who performed and recorded with Dexter Gordon.
