Pete Rugolo & Mel Torme
Graham's special guests this week are Pete Rugolo and Mel Torme.
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 hear from two more witnesses to musical history from Graham’s archive of interviews. In part one, American Arranger, Composer and Conductor Pete Rugolo who was born on December the 25th, 1915.
And in part two, Mel Torme remembers writing one of the most famous of all songs about the Festive Season, ’The Christmas Song. And Graham’s musical theme this week is Winter!
