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 )
This week... a classic tv theme from Don Ralke, from 1959, is a highlight of our collection. It’s Sonny Greer & His Memphis Men for a Saturday Night Function, and, taking on the role of teacher, is Dinah Washington. Plus, Colin brings you Tommy Dorsey, David Whitfield, and the fabulous Bea Booze!
From an absolute STEAMER of a performance from Harry Roy and the band, to a ‘live’ jazz gem from Nina Simone, it’s another busy vintage musical wave, plus Colin has a VCT surprise tune for producer Steve, which may… or may not, make his Sunday morning, as it features both country AND western!
Sundays from 8.30am to 9am... only on Radio 3

Trained in both jazz and classical, Kenny Martyn is one of THE most respected clarinet players in the game, and an old mate of Colin’s. Kenny sits down for a Sunday morning chat about his life and his music. We hear him getting to play some huge Benny Goodman tunes from the original chart arrangements, plus, a touch of classical and some actual ‘live’ yodeling!
