Jez Nelson presents a concert by New York bassist and composer Ben Allison on his only date in the UK. Performing music from his forthcoming album, Allison combines memorable melodies, and the influence of American rock and folk, with avant-jazz and some adventurous and intricate ensemble writing.

Jez also talks to online jazz writer and resident of Maryland Bill Shoemaker about the Baltimore jazz scene.
