BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Tonight's programme was recorded at the Cheltenham International Jazz
Festival and features a concert from the young British jazz band J-Life, winners of European Young Jazz Musicians of the Year 1997, with Jason Yarde (saxophone),
Robert Mitchell (piano). Darren Taylor (double bass), Daniel Crosby (drums) and Julie Dexter (vocals). The band draws on Afro-Caribbean and jazz roots to create an exciting mix of original compositions and contemporary arrangements of jazz standards.
Robert Wyatt looks at current releases, and Joe Zawinul talks about three generations of Weather Report and the challenge of live recording.
