Class of 86: a British Jazz Decade

on BBC Radio 3

4: Class of 96 How have the jazz musicians who found themselves in the spotlight 10 years ago influenced the next generation of British jazz players? In the last programme, John Fordham meets members of the Class of 86, including two acclaimed young pianists: Richard Fairhurst , who has worked closely with former Loose Tube lain Ballamy, and Nikki Yeoh , whose big break came when she dared to take part in a jam session with Courtney Pine when the expected pianist did not turn up. And ten years on, how do the Class of 86 view the future?
