On today's how we start off the new year with a selection of sounds and styles from the 1930s through to the 1960s. We hear some fine trumpet work from Chet Baker, Billy Butterfield and Jonah Jones among others. Recordings from the 1930s include Henry Hall and the BBC Dance orchestra, as well as the legendary Count Basie orchestra.
