Trumpeter and composer Guy Barker introduces an as yet largely unheard recording of Humph and Wynton Marsalis expressing their joint admiration for the great Louis Armstrong. Across the generations they share their passion and respect for Armstrong and delve into just what made him the most influential of the early jazz pioneers.

When asked to open Radio 2's first ever Jazz Season in 1991, Humphrey Lyttelton took the opportunity to bring his Big Band out of retirement. The dusted down parts were put on the stands of his hand picked musicians who brilliantly brought to life a fascinating collection of arrangements not heard for more than 30 years. The concert was recorded at the Hippodrome Golders Green with Humph' in top form as player, bandleader and on stage host.
