Tomasz Stanko

Alyn Shipton is joined by Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stanko to help select the finest examples of his recorded work that should be in any jazz collection.

One of the most celebrated jazz musicians in Europe, Stanko looks back on his collaborations with Krzysztof Komeda and Edward Vesala, and discusses the albums he has made under his own name, including Litania and Leosia.

Gwilym Simcock Big Band

Jez Nelson introduces an exclusive session recorded for the programme by the Gwilym Simcock Big Band.

The first jazz musician to be selected as a BBC Radio 3 New Generation artist, Simcock is one of the most talented contemporary pianists working on the British jazz scene. His virtuosic, classically influenced sound and ability to dovetail ideas has led to stylistic comparisons with Keith Jarrett, and his band brings together many of the UK's best instrumentalists, including saxophonists Iain Ballamy and Julian Siegel, trumpeter Noel Langley and guitarist John Parricelli.
