BBC Radio 3 - Jazz Library, Lawrence Lucie

An interview with Lawrence Lucie, given before the swing guitarist's death in August 2009.

In an interview given before the swing guitarist's death, Alyn Shipton talks to Lawrence Lucie about his work, including with Fletcher Henderson, Lucky Milliner and Benny Carter.

Swing guitarist Lawrence Lucie died in 2009, aged 101. Not long before his death, Lucie met Alyn Shipton in New York to look back over his remarkable career, which not only included stints with Fletcher Henderson, Lucky Millinder and Benny Carter, but a long stay in Louis Armstrong's orchestra. Lucie was also the longest surviving member of Jelly Roll Morton's band, and he looks back on his work with the self-styled "inventor of jazz".

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
