Former chancellor Ken Clarke profiles great jazz musicians of the 20th century.

He is joined by jazz writer Steve Voce to explore the career of the West Coast alto saxophonist Art Pepper. A life-long drug addict, Pepper spent much of what should have been the peak of his career in prison. It is widely believed that the periods of freedom between incarcerations concentrated Pepper's creativity to the benefit of his music.
