Jazz on 3

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Quiet Nights, the latest project from Django Bates , finds him with his saxophone and bass harmonica in an unexpected setting - the world of the jazz standard. His new collaboration with young Swedish vocalist Josefine Cronholm presents a fresh, lyrical approach to well-worn tunes. In this concert given earlier this month at the Cheltenham Jazz
Festival, the rhythm section is supplied by Michael Mondesir on bass and Martin France on drums and percussion. And in the week of Duke Ellington's centenary, the programme examines the Ellington legacy with author Stuart Nicholson , whose innovative biography, A Portrait of Duke Ellington: Reminiscing in Tempo, is published this week.
