| Performance Notes | From stomps and shuffles to boogie-woogie and blues, from bebop to Latin, this Sunday matinee Prom presents a slice of musical action from the 1930s and 1940s.
Two roaring big bands battle against each other, joined by special guests and led by Guy Barker and Winston Rollins. Singer and broadcaster Clare Teal is our guide on a journey that celebrates the triumphs of big band greats, including Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Jimmie Lunceford, Boyd Raeburn, Machito, Stan Kenton and Woody Herman.
Tribute is also paid to a highly respected but unassuming giant of the big band world pianist, arranger and composer Mary Lou Williams.
There was one interval.
The oncert was broadcast on BBC Four on 1 September 2017. |
