Jazz in Weimar Berlin, calypso in Cardiff Bay and the sounds of the Beguine in Paris. Clarke Peters uncovers the stories of black musicians in Europe up to the Jazz Age.
Clarke Peters examines the variety of black music recorded in Europe from the late 1920s onwards - hot jazz in Weimar Berlin, calypso in Cardiff Bay and the sounds of the Beguine in Paris. He also investigates the Degenerate Music exhibition held in Dusseldorf in 1938, and hears how the rise of Hitler affected the lives of musicians like trumpeter Arthur Briggs.
