96-year-old, Major George Whittingham talks to Matthew Frost about a different era of Salvation Army music-making, recounting stories from life in the 1940s. Renowned composer, Sam Creamer, then discusses ‘So Glad!’ with Matthew – a piece that paved the way for jazz and swing music becoming part of standard SA repertoire.
In this episode we have a surprise ‘Bandmastermind’!
‘Band Manager’ and ‘Sparsely Scored’ complete another jam-packed episode.
