BBC 6 Music’s Gilles Peterson is joined by jazz bassist Dave Green to explore the vast vaults of the BBC archive centre – home to hundreds of thousands of records, including rare gems no longer commercially available.

They’re guided through a specially curated listening selection by grams library manager Oscar Paul – starting with tenor jazz saxophonist and famous club owner, Ronnie Scott.

Also featuring the music of jazz greats Victor Feldman and Duke Ellington - alongside The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. (Dave was childhood friends with drummer, Charlie Watts).
