Moira Stuart presents the third of nine programmes celebrating black British and British-based musical entertainers who came to fame between the 1930s and 1950s.
This week: three musicians who helped transform British jazz in the late 30s and early wartime years: Leslie "Jiver" Hutchinson, Ken "Snakehips" Johnson, and Leslie Thompson.
Including memories from "Jiver"'s daughter Elaine Delmar, and a surviving member of Ken Johnson's West Indian Dance Orchestra, Joe Deniz.
