Mostly Other People Do the Killing

Jez Nelson presents a gig performed at the Vortex in London by Moppa Elliott's New York 'terrorist bebop' quartet Mostly Other People Do the Killing.

Jez Nelson presents New York 'terrorist bebop' quartet Mostly Other People Do The Killing. Voted Downbeat magazine's Rising Star Ensemble in 2009, the group has established a reputation for subversion, deconstructing standards and their own material through deliberately erratic experimentation and a humorous performance style. The band is led by bassist Moppa Elliott and also features trumpeter Peter Evans, saxophonist Jon Irabagon and Kevin Shea on drums, in a performance recorded at The Vortex in London.
Also on the programme, in the month that marks 40 years since the death of Louis Armstrong, Jazz on 3 asks if his music is still relevant to today's trumpeters.

Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producers: Phil Smith & Russell Finch.
