Russell Davies presents a history of jazz, from its earliest stirrings to the end of the millennium.
14: Jungle Music. When Duke
Ellington took up a residency at New York's Cotton Club in 1927, it swiftly brought him international fame. He made a virtue of the contractual necessity to accompany the club's exotic floor shows by developing a primitivist, growling style of jazz that he was comfortable calling jungle music. Producer David Perry. Rptd Friday 11.30pm
