Black History Month Special: Reclaiming Narratives

Alyn Shipton marks Black History Month with a special edition featuring some lesser-known black jazz artists who deserve greater recognition. We'll hear vocalist Blanche Calloway, sister of famous jazz singer Cab Calloway, pianist Hazel Scott’s tantalising mix of classical and jazz textures ; pioneering all-female big band the International Sweethearts of Rhythm plus a rare interview with the late saxophonist Benny Golson.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say: "Ask BBC Sounds to play Jazz Record Requests."
