Seonaid Aitken with an all blues edition, featuring sounds from early jazz to the present day, exploring the connections between jazz and the colour blue. Hear about ‘blue notes', the 1930s sound of blues guitarist Robert Johnson and his deal with the devil, and music from modern practitioners of the blues form including Jed Potts, Ali Affleck, Charlotte Marshall & The 45s. Plus tonight’s Song Book with pianist Richard Michael looks at the bluesy Sack Of Woe written by saxophonist Cannonball Adderley.
