Although the pair are deeply in love, they are culturally and socially poles apart, and when Sohail's elegant and chic mother Rafia meets Helen for the first time, a power struggle ensues.

Jez Nelson with another chance to hear Herbie Hancock's gig at 2008's London Jazz Festival

Jez Nelson presents another chance to hear Herbie Hancock's gig at the 2008 London Jazz Festival. With the previously un-broadcast Lionel Loueke solo, plus classic Hancock tracks.

Jez Nelson presents another chance to hear the famous Herbie Hancock gig at the 2008 London Jazz Festival. Featuring the previously un-broadcast Lionel Loueke solo, plus music from Hancock's back catalogue of classic albums with a stellar line-up of musicians: New Orleans trumpeter Terence Blanchard, Benin born guitarist and vocalist Lionel Loueke, Gregoire Maret on harmonica, bassist James Genus and talented young drummer Kendrick Scott.

Since Herbie Hancock's emergence on the scene as part of Donald Byrd's band in 1961, he has been at the forefront of almost every major development in modern jazz. Whether it be joining Miles Davis' second classic quintet, adopting the electronic piano as his instrument of choice or going platinum with the funk-jazz fusion of his Headhunters album, Hancock has always pushed the boundaries and been a true musical trailblazer.
