Russell Davies presents a 52-part history of jazz, from its earliest stirrings to the end of the millennium.

After a stint as lead cornettist with Fletcher Henderson's orchestra in New York, Louis Armstrong returned to Chicago and embarked upon a long series of recordings with his own Hot Five group in 1925. Armstrong immediately established himself as a profoundly musical soloist of incomparable technical brilliance.
