Highlights from the 2013 Saalfelden Jazz Festival

Jez Nelson with highlights from the 2013 Saalfelden Jazz Festival in Austria, one of the biggest annual get-togethers of cutting-edge jazz musicians from both sides of the Atlantic.

Jez Nelson presents new music from last summer's Saalfelden Jazz Festival in Austria. Established over 30 years ago, it has become one of the biggest annual get-togethers of cutting-edge jazz musicians from both sides of the Atlantic.

Highlights include Austrian pianist David Helbock with his playful Action Figures quartet, featuring Tony Malaby on saxophone and a rather unusual backline of tuba and drums. Martin KΓΌchen's Angles 10 delivers a brassy punch, with the help of saxophonist Tim Berne, no fewer than three trombones and two drummers. French experimental guitarist Marc Ducret plays with his 12 piece Tower Bridge ensemble. John Medeski appears solo at the piano with some leftfield takes on classics like 'His Eye Is On The Sparrow' and 'Summertime'. And continuing the Gershwin connection, Uri Caine and his ensemble re-assemble 'They Can't Take That Away From Me', with the help of vocalists Barbara Walker and Theo Bleckmann.

Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producer: Miranda Hinkley.
