BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Alyn Shipton introduces more recordings from last year's Brecon Jazz Festival, this time featuring concerts given by two legendary
American tenor saxophonists. Joe Henderson pays tribute to the Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim with his Double Rainbow
Quartet, which includes Helio Alves (piano), Nilson Matta (bass) and Paolo Braga (drums). Illinois Jacquet has a rich history of associations with the great swing bands of the thirties and forties, including those of Cab Calloway and Count Basie.
For this concert he leads his own 15-piece big band. Alyn Shipton will be talking to both Joe Henderson and Illinois Jacquet between sets. Producer Derek Drescher
