A six-part series in which Max Easterman looks at developments that took place in jazz up to the 1940s, often triggered by non-musical events. In each programme, he concentrates on a single year. 3:

The more adventurous music was recorded by the orchestras of Retcher Henderson , Benny Moten , Duke Ellington and Earl Hines.
