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!

This week on VCT, a recording of what was a very well known song back in 1929. Recorded at the small Queens Hall in London, it features some amazing bass sax. In the mighty big band dept, Clark Terry features in a tribute to Quincy Jones, from 1959. Up and coming, young vocalist, Paul Stone from the UK is singing the songs of yesteryear. And, we have some Cole Porter, and a rare, incredibly sizzling three song medley from Frank Trumbauer that will knock your socks off.
This week on VCT, it's our trombone special, featuring a number of artists from over the decades, but in particular, Mr. Jeff Williams. This fine trombonist, vocalist, and entertainer was in town for one night, when Colin caught up with him for a chat. He picks out some personal favourite chart toppers as well as picking up his trombone and playing for us.
