Jez Nelson presents the third of a four-week season of Jazz on 3's most popular concerts of this year, as requested by listeners. This week, a rising star and three true legends of jazz in performance at the Barbican.
Pianist Herbie Hancock and saxophonist Wayne Shorter were band mates in Miles Davis' legendary quartet of the mid-sixties, and British-born bassist Dave Holland joined Miles in the late Sixties.
