Kings of Swing
3/3. Linton Chiswick presents the final programme focusing on Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw 's highly innovative small group recordings, which pushed swing to its limits and laid the foundations for bebop. Linton also examines how both musicians risked their careers by employing black musicians at a time when a rigid colour bar was still the norm.
