Graham Pass brings you the finest crooners, songbirds, vocal groups and instrumentalists.

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

We’ll be meeting two more witnesses to musical history from Graham’s archive of interviews:
In part one, Composer, Arranger, Trumpeter and Conductor Billy May who was born on November the 10th 1916…

And in part two, veteran American Saxophonist Les Robinson who was born on November the 10th 1914.

And Graham’s musical theme this week is a further celebration of “Octave Leaps”, those attractive musical jumps at the beginning of songs such as “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”.
