Artie Shaw and Helen O'Connell

Graham's special guests this week are Artie Shaw and Helen O'Connell.

More swinging performances from across the years and around the world featuring the finest crooners, songbirds, small groups, big bands, orchestras and instrumentalists.

Also, we’ll be meeting two more witnesses to musical history from Graham’s archive of interviews: In part one, legendary clarinettist and bandleader Artie Shaw who was born on May the 23rd 1910; And in part 2, American singer Helen O’Connell who was born on May the 23rd 1920.

Graham’s musical theme this week is… “Flowers and Trees!”
