Jazz Horns Gold

Jazz archive from the BBC vaults, featuring Dizzy Gillespie, Coleman Hawkins, Stan Getz, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Wynton Marsalis, Joshua Redman, Acker Bilk, John Dankworth and more.

Jazz Horns Gold blows its own trumpet (and saxophone and nose flute) with a cool array of BBC archive from the jazz vaults. Legends such as Dizzy Gillespie, Coleman Hawkins, Stan Getz and Rahsaan Roland Kirk play boldly alongside new stars who emerged in the 80s like Wynton Marsalis and the young jazz disciples of the 21st century such as Joshua Redman and Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. Not forgetting the Brits including Acker Bilk, John Dankworth, Courtney Pine and John Surman and the late, lamented Andy Hamilton. Archive sources include Jazz 625, the Late Show, Later with Jools Holland and Crackerjack. Blow man blow!
