A new eight-part series devoted to Harry James, the bandleader and trumpeter who was one of the key players of the swing era, responsible for classics like Sleepy Lagoon, I've Heard That Song before, You Made Me Love You and It's Been a Long, Long Time.

A look at the early years, from his childhood circus career to the moment he was first touched by jazz, in particular the music of Louis Armstrong.
Hosted by Campbell Burnap.
