Graham's special guests are Record Executive Alan Livingston and Bandleader Stan Kenton.

More swinging performances from across the years and around the world featuring the finest crooners, songbirds, small groups, big bands, orchestras and instrumentalists.

Also, we’ll hear from two more witnesses to musical history from Graham’s archive of interviews, in part one, Recording Executive Alan Livingston remembers signing Frank Sinatra in 1953.

And in part two, Bandleader Stan Kenton gives his opinions on Jazz. Stan was born on December the 15th, 1911; And Graham’s musical theme this week is… “Laughter!”.
