[Dixielandjazz] The Dream Time of Jazz

[Andy.Ling at Quantel.Com]

Coming up this Saturday 7th June on BBC radio 4 in "The Archive Hour" at 
8:00 PM

Marybeth Hamilton recalls an extraordinary ten-hour interview conducted in 
1938 by the 23-year-old folklorist Alan Lomax with the pioneering jazz 
composer Jelly Roll Morton. Conducted over several sessions, the interview 
was recorded on wax discs and deposited at the Library of Congress. 
Lomax's aim was to illuminate the folk roots of jazz, and aficionados 
believe that he succeeded. The interview is now regarded as seminal 
document that shaped the writing of jazz history.

For those outside the UK you can listen on line either live or using the 
BBC listen again facility
