[Dixielandjazz] Swing. Obscure ofshoot of jazz

[ROBERT R. CALDER]

No disputing the presence of merit in the actual Swing Thing programme.
My favourite BBC-ism was the repetition of recorded comments prior to a recital of settings of songs by Burns,  of one of which  this was said  (only once but the tape was re-broadcast a few times):

"the song, 'Over the Forth, to the North', which "celebrates the beauties of [Burns's native] west of Scotland."  
Refer to a map.

Mind you the publicity hacks commending one CD selection of elderly blues recordings did refer to Willie McTell as a Delta bluesman. The Mississippi delta runs through Atlanta, Ga.?
