Buck Clayton Legacy Band

Kevin LeGendre presents the first broadcast of some of Buck Clayton compositions, with the Buck Clayton Legacy Band. Plus Bobby McFerrin, who features in Now Is the Time.

Buck Clayton was Count Basie's star trumpeter in the 1930s and went on to be a fine arranger and bandleader in his own right. When writer and broadcaster Alyn Shipton published Buck's life story, the trumpeter gave him a set of new arrangements that had never been recorded. To celebrate Buck's centenary, Alyn and saxophonist Matthias Seuffert bring the Buck Clayton Legacy Band to Gateshead to play this music. Alyn also introduces films and audio clips of Buck himself. With Menno Daams and Ian Smith, trumpets; Alan Barnes and Matthias Seuffert, reeds; Adrian Fry, trombone; Martin Litton, piano; Martin Wheatley, guitar; Alyn Shipton, bass and Norman Emberson, drums.
Jazz Line-Up presented by Kevin LeGendre will broadcast these compositions for the first time.
And also on the programme, this month's "Now is the Time" features the debut album from master vocalist Bobby McFerrin.
