Interesting R4 series that's currently looking at the between wars period in Europe.
You can see how the dots are joined through black jazz, blues, rock and onto modern rap.

I caught series one and enjoyed it greatly.
Thanks for the heads up on series two though as I hadn't realised it was on - if it's half as good as series one then I second your recommendation wholeheartedly.

Really enjoyed that.
Ken Clarke likes jazz, I wonder if Arron Banks does. Or maybe even Frank likes to tap a toe...
