An archive repeat in tribute to the radio producer Piers Plowright who died earlier this year. Piers was an influential and pioneering artist of sound and voices who created memorable radio features and imaginative drama. To mark his death, Radio 3 and Radio 4 are re-broadcasting some of the programmes which were the highlights of his career. This edition of Between the Ears was produced by Piers in 1999: At the Window gives us glimpses of the Chicago pianist Jimmy Yancey through one of his greatest blues songs, the voices of his family and friends, the magic of baseball, and the sounds and music of his city.
