From the Beatles to John Cage, this programme explores music that was ground breaking in its day and we find out how musicians are influenced by the music that's all around them. Sister Rosetta Tharpe mixed gospel up with blues and jazz and influenced many other musicians like Jackie Wilson. We find out how musicians cover old songs in their own style and use sampling in their music. As music travels around the world, a song that is familiar to one musician sounds new and exciting to another. We have always shared music and a good tune can travel fast! Featured artists include Alasdair Roberts, Jeff Buckley, Leonard Cohen, DJ Shadow, Celia Cruz, Lord Kitchener and Panjabi MC.
