When Guy Met Wynton - Episode 1

Logo for When Guy Met Wynton - Episode 1

A transatlantic trumpet summit as Guy Barker and Wynton Marsalis discuss the nature of US/UK jazz collaborations. Recorded in the heart of New York City, the programme features a wealth of anecdotes, musical insight and music from Tubby Hayes & Clark Terry, through to rarely heard recordings from Louis Armstrong's first European tour. The pair share memories of Clark Terry, who was something of a trumpet mentor to both; they share their passion for the timeless work of Louis Armstrong; look at the contribution of lesser celebrated figures such as Victor Feldman, Dizzy Reece & Spike Hughes; discuss the nature of collaboration within the context of jazz and explore the Celtic and modal roots of the music.
