Audio slideshow: Bombay's jazz age

When you think of jazz in the early 20th Century you may think of New Orleans, Chicago, New York or Paris. What isn't so well known is that the Indian
city of Bombay - now Mumbai - had its own flourishing jazz scene in the 1930s.

Naresh Fernandes - author of Taj Mahal Foxtrot, the story of Bombay's jazz age - paints a portrait of the musicians, the fans, and the music.
