Ben Watson presents four programmes examining the Caribbean influence on jazz.

The Jamaican-born saxophone player came to the UK in 1951 and died destitute in 1973 at the age of 44. Critics and fans now recognise him as a pioneer of modern jazz.

Although better known as Verdi's librettist, Arrigo Boito was a composer in his own right. In his setting of the Faust legend, Mephistopheles wagers with God that he can win the soul of Faust. Boito intended to change the course of conventional Italian opera, which he compared to the "splattered walls of a brothel", but after a disastrous first performance he made many modifications to Mefistofele. The revised version was much more popular and has featured regularly in the repertoire at the Met.
