John B has reminded me that there is currently a repeat airing of Guy Barker's serise on significant periods and people in the jazz idiom. It is being broadcast @ 22.00 on a Thursday night and is up to episode 3 so far, all still available to catch up on iPlayer Radio. A fascinating series and well worth a listen. For those unable to listen to BBC iPlayer Radio, John recorded the whole series when it was previously aired and I'm sure he would be prepared to supply a copy.

I have now listened to the episodes available so far and the series is really good.

I was interested to hear that the start of the Swing Era can be pinned down to one particular date;- 21st August 1935. Why that date? Well you will just have to listen to Episode 3 to find out!
