The Hot Box #143 – Jazz in Ireland

About this episode

Donald Helme explores the history of jazz in Ireland through vintage recordings.

Donald Helme takes the lid off the Hot Box once again, and this time he’s digging deep into a special file marked “Jazz in Ireland” . Reaching back across the decades, Donald unearths vintage recordings that showcase both the big names who have defined the Irish jazz landscape and the lesser-known voices who, for one reason or another, seemed to fade into history.
