Jazz on 3

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

With Jez Nelson. Tonight's programme is a Cheltenham
International Jazz Festival special.
Jazz on 3's first BBC commission is a new piece from clarinettist and saxophonist Tony Coe , who performs the work with his big band -
Tony Coe and Co - together with Ellington arrangements. The Kent-born musician whose career began with the Humphrey Lyttelton band in 1957 has become one of the finest exponents of jazz improvisation, winning the prestigious Danish
Jazzpar prize in 1995 - the first non-American to do so. He has also contributed to the scores of several movies and is the featured tenor sax soloist in Henry Mancini 's Pink
Panther music. And in the studio, a selection of festival headliners discuss new releases and comment on festival events.
