Jazz 625 at the ѿý

Classic 1960s performances from Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck and Dizzy Gillespie, the Julian 'Cannonball' Adderley Sextet, Wes Montgomery, Marian McPartland and many more.

Programme celebrating the archive of this legendary ѿý jazz concert show from the mid 1960s, so titled because the newly launched ѿý 2 was broadcasting on 625-UHF lines (the HD of the time) unlike the 405-VHF of ѿý 1 and ITV. It features classic performances from legends such as Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck and Dizzy Gillespie and the Julian 'Cannonball' Adderley Sextet, alongside rarely seen sessions from the likes of Wes Montgomery, Marian McPartland, Chris Barber's Jazz Band and Willie 'The Lion' Smith.
