British musician Alan Barnes joins together with Scott Hamilton and some other British notables to give an airing to a classic from Hodges and Ellington. 

Also Steve Waterman gives a cracking Benny Golson number an outing and remembers a bit of New York jazz history at the same time, a tune about the Five Spot Cafe.
