Jez Nelson presents a selection of highlights from the 2008 Vision festival, downtown New York's annual celebration of the jazz avant-garde. This year's 13th edition saw New Orleans saxophonist Edward 'Kidd' Jordan honoured with a tribute night featuring ensembles made up of past collaborators including Billy Bang, Hamiet Bluiett, Hamid Drake and Vision festival co-founder William Parker.
