Steve Waterman pays tribute to Golson and Hamilton and Barnes ensure the jeep is jumping.

British musician Alan Barnes joins together with Scott Hamilton and some other British notables to give an airing to a classic from Hodges and Ellington.

Also Steve Waterman gives a cracking Benny Golson number an outing and remembers a bit of New York jazz history at the same time, a tune about the Five Spot Cafe.
