BBC Local Radio - Jazz with John Hellings, Grappelli and Reinhardt in different decades

Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli 30 years apart and an appeal for new musicians.

Django Reinhardt recorded during the occupation of France with a small group and then his one time partner in the Hot Club of France, Stephane Grappelli in 1970.

Diane Schuur sings with the Count Basie Orchestra plus a new album from pianist par excellence, John  Horler. Norma Winstone sings with Stan Tracey and Bobby Wellins. 

Ben Webster is paired up with a very young Joe Zawinul and there's new album from pianist Brad Mehldau. Kenny Burrell comes up with a guitar orchestra and Roy Eldridge gives us his version of an old tune.
