Xanthe|13:31 UK time, Wednesday, 8 September 2010

Hello from Jamie's producer. I hope you enjoyed part one of our two-part special with Clint Eastwood, if you missed it you can always revisit the entire show on the BBC iplayer.

Plus - check out this video! It's Clint Eastwood telling Jamie all about the amazing jazz clubs he used to visit back in the day and all the incredible artists he mingled with at the time.
.



If you want to see more, there are three other videos on the site. One in which they discuss how jazz seems to have lost its sense of humour over the years, one where Jamie asks Clint about how he writes melodies for his film scores and a comical moment when Jamie asks Clint to do 'drops' for the radio show.

Part two next week is a continuation of the chat between Jamie and Clint Eastwood in which Clint talks about his son Kyle, previously featured in session on Jamie's show, and how he first go into playing music and developing his own style of jazz, as well as how he ended up working on the scores for his father's films. Plus, they discuss Diana Krall, Clint's own composition and musical performance abilities and what it was like for Jamie when he first saw Clint Eastwood in the audience watching his performance.

Make sure you check it out.. Part two - next Tues at 7pm on Radio 2 .
