Kevin Le Gendre presents concert highlights from the Euroradio Jazz Orchestra, which features some of the best young players from across the continent, selected by public radio broadcasters to play together at a special concert in Austria. The initiative has been running yearly since 1965 and is organised by the European Broadcasting Union.

Also in the programme, Panamanian pianist Danilo PΓ©rez shares some of the music that inspires him. He reflects on formative jam sessions with his father and pays tributes to his other great mentors, Wayne Shorter and Dizzy Gillespie.

Plus, Kevin looks back at some of the jazz highlights of 2019.
