Radio 3 at the Summer Festivals

Jez Nelson presents UK saxophonist Julian Arguelles with US guitarist John Abercrombie in concert at the 2009 Cheltenham Jazz Festival. The group perform new tunes written by Arguelles that demonstrate Abercrombie's versatile technique and reputation as one of the world's leading guitarists.

Abercrombie has been at the forefront of jazz guitar music for the past 30 years, from his Gateway group in the 70s, featuring Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette, to his recent quartet with violinist Mark Feldman. Birmingham-born Arguelles rose to fame in the 1980s as member of UK big band Loose Tubes. Since then he has released a number of albums as leader of groups ranging from duo to big band and received several Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Jazz Awards.
