Alyn Shipton's weekly dip into listeners' letters and emails asking for jazz favourites includes requests from members of the National Youth Jazz Orchestra.

Following the National Youth Jazz Orchestra's Prom on Thursday, this week's requests are entirely picked by members of this tremendous band, who will have been tackling new music from Laura Jurd and Johnny Richards' arrangement of Bernstein's West Side Story, and whose selections cover the whole gamut of jazz. Introduced by Alyn Shipton.
