We’re off to New York again this week on Jazz on 3 – or rather, it’s come to us, as we revisit a fantastic gig from an old master and his new Manhattan band.
The master in question is actually as European as they come in jazz terms – Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stanko has helped to spearhead the music over here for decades, but he upped sticks to the States a few years back and this latest quartet is his – and our – reward.

And we’ve an exclusive session recording from another 70-year-old later in the programme, one of the pioneers of jazz vibraphone, Gary Burton. He’s in the studio with his latest guitarist protégé Julian Lage, performing as a duet for the first time and providing a warm and gentle end to the show.
