Classical, jazz and blues from Jools and guests

Jools picks Chopin and Florence Price, plus Louis Armstrong's favourite classical music with his guest Ricky Riccardi.

In a new show for Saturday lunchtimes, Jools shares his lifelong passion for classical music. Fascinating guests each week bring their own favourites, and occasionally perform live in Jools's studio.

Today, Jools's choices include music by Chopin, Florence Price, JS Bach and Abel Selaocoe. He is joined from New York by Ricky Riccardi, Director of Research Collections at the Louis Armstrong House Museum, who reveals some of the legendary American jazzman's favourite classical music, including works by Schubert, Verdi and Mascagni.
