Jazz - the Virus
In 1917, an epidemic broke out in New York.
Within months it spread across the length and breadth of America and then to Europe and the rest of the world.
Robert Parker , the producer of the BBC record series, Jazz Classics in Digital Stereo, traces the emergence and spreac of jazz into 20th-century culture, with examples drawn from his personal archive of 20,000 78rpm records, embracing classic jazz, swing, popular music and the concert hall repertoire. Producers Stella Hanson and Madeleine Cuming
