Jez Nelson introduces a performance by British pianist John Taylor, with drummer Martin France and Swedish bassist Palle Danielsson, recorded during the trio's debut tour earlier this year. Taylor, who is a long-standing collaborator with Kenny Wheeler and John Surman, is often critically acclaimed as truly world class, and his popularity has steadily grown over the past decade. Plus Kevin Le Gendre presents a feature on the role of the side-man in jazz. Many of the greatest players earned their stripes and developed their craft as side-men to legendary band leaders such as Art Blakey, Duke Ellington ad Miles Davis.
