Music aficionado and band leader Colin Aitchison presents the musicians who were the huge, million-selling recording stars of an often forgotten era.
Before Bruno Mars, there was Bing Crosby, before the likes of Adele, there was Billie Holiday ... and before Justin Bieber ... well, where to start!?!
There’s some terrific music and stories from the ‘20s, ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s, plus a few laughs!
(Every Sunday, 8.30am-9am )
Packing the show this week, a stylish, top variety double act at their pianos, a belting, big baritone Canadian, and some extra do-wop baritone from the States. We have some Kansas City blues…with a mystery alto sax player, the winner of the downbeat readers poll for best female singer of 1949, and Colin tells the tale of the bird.

This week, Colin is chatting with special guest Lance Liddle who runs the award winning Jazz blog 'Be-Bop Spoken Here'. Lance chooses some of the outstanding records that have influenced and inspired him over the years, and what a line up he has, including Freddy Randall, Stan Kenton, Stan Getz, Johnny Desmond, and possibly the longest session we’ve ever played on VCT, from The Jazz Couriers.
