In this fifth programme on the music of American composer George Russell , Ian Carr begins with a piece recorded in 1960 which caused Gunther Schuller to exclaim: "Stratusphunk! My God, it's a masterpiece."
Moving on to 1962 and the album The Outer View, singer Sheila Jordan describes how Russell came to make an extended arrangement of "You are my sunshine".
