0:00:51 > 0:00:55a programme in which I shall be doing some pretty hefty name-dropping,
0:00:55 > 0:00:58starting with a band which is so well known to television viewers
0:00:58 > 0:01:01the world over that you've no doubt already recognised
0:01:01 > 0:01:05the classic features and sartorial splendour of Mr Acker Bilk
0:01:05 > 0:01:06And His Paramount Jazz Band.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Here she is to sing Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18It's Beryl Bryden.

0:05:25 > 0:05:30# Once I lived the life of a millionaire
0:05:32 > 0:05:38# Spending my money, I didn't care
0:05:40 > 0:05:46# I carried my friends out for a good time
0:05:46 > 0:05:52# Buying bootleg liquor, champagne and wine
0:05:54 > 0:06:01# When I began to fall so low
0:06:01 > 0:06:08# Nobody wanted me round their door

0:06:38 > 0:06:43# In my pocket, not one penny
0:06:45 > 0:06:48# And my friends
0:06:48 > 0:06:51# I haven't any
0:06:51 > 0:06:57# But if I ever get back on my feet again
0:06:59 > 0:07:06# Then I'll find all my long-lost friends
0:07:06 > 0:07:12# Seems mighty strange without a doubt
0:07:13 > 0:07:20# Nobody knows you when you're down and out
0:07:20 > 0:07:26# I mean, when you're down and out
0:07:28 > 0:07:30SHE HUMS MELODY

0:08:33 > 0:08:36APPLAUSE
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Yeah.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Beryl Bryden with Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out,
0:08:54 > 0:08:56and if she's ever down and out, she can always flog that dress!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58LAUGHTER
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Jazz, like wine, has its vintage years,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02and surely 1900 was one of them.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07In that year Louis Armstrong, Tommy Ladnier, George Brunis, Albert Nicholas were all born
0:09:07 > 0:09:11in New Orleans, and so too was our special guest tonight.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15Around him, legend and controversy have accumulated, but this is a fact -
0:09:15 > 0:09:19that very few living jazz musicians can boast a greater influence
0:09:19 > 0:09:22on young musicians or a larger and more devoted
0:09:22 > 0:09:24band of followers the world over.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Many of his fans are here in the Marquee Club -
0:09:27 > 0:09:29as many, in fact, as we could get in - to welcome him.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32So here with St Philip's Street Breakdown is George Lewis.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34APPLAUSE

0:18:47 > 0:18:49Yeah.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00Every great jazz musician has one number which is his one-way ticket
0:19:00 > 0:19:04to immortality, and that surely is George Lewis's, Burgundy Street Blues.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08George formed his first band in 1923 with Henry "Red" Allen on trumpet,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11and it's odds-on that one of the numbers that they played then is the
0:19:11 > 0:19:15one that they're going to play now with Acker and the band, Panama Rag.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Yeaaa-aah!
0:23:49 > 0:23:51APPLAUSE
