Jazz File: Jump Jive and Wail: 4: Zoot Suit Riot

on BBC Radio 3

Another programme exploring jump jive - jazz rooted in the dance floor.

At the beginning of the eighties, indie rocker Joe Jackson issued an album of Louis Jordan songs which were to influence a whole generation of jump jivers in the nineties, who exaggerated the style and created a music which isn't merely nostalgic but sounds contemporary. Presented by Brian Morton.
