Jazz on 3

on BBC Radio 3

Recorded at the Edinburgh Festival, tonight's concert features the unusual line-up of saxophone, piano and vibraphone. Two leading British musicians - saxophonist
Tim Garland and pianist Jason Rebello - team up with the exciting American vibes player Joe Locke to create some melodic and robust jazz. And in the week that marks the birth in 1919 and death in 1990 of drummer, educator and bandleader Art Blakey , saxophonist
Jean Toussaint celebrates his work.
American-born Toussaint was a member of Blakey's Jazz
Messengers band in one of its last incarnations in the 1980s, but since its formation in 1954, the band has also contributed to the musical education of Jackie McLean , Freddie Hubbard , Wynton Marsalis , Keith Jarrett and Joanne Brackeen.
Producers Lyn Champion and Steve Shepherd
