Jez Nelson selects music from the best live concerts recorded by Jazz on 3 during 2008. Including music from German powerhouse Peter Brotzmann who took over Amsterdam's Bimhuis jazz club with Toshinori Kondo, New York trumpet player Dave Douglas with his Buster Keaton-inspired Keystone project, and heavyweight guitar hero Bill Frisell, whose unique sound-world of blues- and country-influenced jazz won over a hugely receptive Cheltenham crowd earlier in 2008.
