Jazz For Absolute Beginners with Kevin LeGendre

Claire Martin and writer Kevin LeGendre explore jazz where almost anyone can feel at home.

For some people, jazz can almost seem as divisive as a certain kind of vegetable spread you put on toast. You either love it or hate it.

But jazz writer Kevin LeGendre has a theory that almost anyone can feel at home in the jazz tent if they hear the right kind of jazz.

Jazz singer and broadcaster Claire Martin invites Kevin to bring in an armful of music designed for 'Jazz For Absolute Beginners'.

Quincy Jones, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis and many others help the programme extend a musical hand of friendship to the widest possible audience of jazz lovers and those who are less sure if this really is for them.
