BBC Radio 3 - Jazz Line-Up, 24/04/2011

Julian Joseph hears the quartet Southbound and previews the Cheltenham Jazz Festival.

Julian Joseph presents the Manchester-based quartet Southbound. Plus a preview of the Cheltenham Jazz Festival with its artistic director Tony Dudley Evans.

Southbound are Jack Davies (trumpet), Rob Cope (tenor saxophone), Tom Taylor (piano) and Jon Ormston (drums), four musicians who combine classical subtleties with the creative energy of contemporary jazz. 
Sharing a love of the eclectic sound world of Iain Ballamy, as well as the exquisite lyricism of Paul Bley, this bassless quartet are continually surprising - at one moment unboundedly explorative, and the next powerfully grounded.
This week Jazz Line-Up previews the Cheltenham Jazz Festival with the festivals artistic director , Tony Dudley Evans. The festival runs as usual over the Bank Holiday weekend from April 27th to May 2nd and Tony will give his take on this years fest and his pick of the festival that could include, Cleo Laine, Andy Shepherd, Dave Holland or Django Bates, could be none on them, tune in to find out.
