BBC Proms 2014 30. Battle of the Bands ( Clare Teal, James Pearson, Grant Windsor, Gregory Porter, Vula Malinga, Jazz Cotech)

Leading jazz singer Clare Teal presents a Late Night Prom with a difference as we are transported back to the swing era of the 1930s and 1940s with two of the greatest bands of the day, led at the time by Count Basie and Duke Ellington. With selections including Jumpin at the Woodside and It Dont Mean a Thing (If It Aint Got That Swing), and culminating in a bespoke Battle Royal, the roof will surely be raised as these giants of jazz do battle for the approval of the audience.
