BBC Introducing artists at the 2011 Cheltenham Festival

Jez Nelson presents some of the brightest new UK jazz talent, performing on the BBC Introducing stage at the 2011 Cheltenham Festival.

Jez Nelson presents a showcase of four emerging jazz bands which are either unsigned, undiscovered or under the radar. All four groups have submitted their music via the BBC Introducing Uploader and been selected to perform at Cheltenham festival by a team of DJs including Jez Nelson, Gilles Peterson and Jamie Cullum. The lineup includes Trish Clowes and Rachel Musson, leading bands featuring among others drummer James Maddren and Alcyona Mick of the Loop Collective; Saltwater Samurai, a quintet where jazz and disco-house collide; and the fusion and free jazz sounds of the Discordian Trio.

Presenter: Jez Nelson
Producer: Joby Waldman.
