Jez Nelson presents a gig performed at the 2009 Vision Festival in New York by US saxophonist Darius Jones with his trio. The group play music from Jones' debut album Man'ish Boy, which Jones describes as 'a tone poem about me and my life growing up in the South'. It features Bob Moses on drums and Cooper-Moore on piano and diddly-bo - a wooden board with a single wire stretched between two nails which is played with a slide.

Relatively new to the New York scene, Jones has been making waves in the city since he moved from his hometown in Virginia in 2005, and has been praised by pianist Matthew Shipp for his improvisational skills.

And Radio 3's weekly contemporary jazz programme presents a very special event. Now firmly an annual tradition, on Friday 13th November we celebrate the start of the Radio 3 2009 London Jazz Festival with a specially extended show broadcast from Ronnie Scott's in Soho, London, from 10.30pm - 1.00am, presented - as ever - by Jez Nelson.

The show will feature lots of great live music from artists performing during the festival, including vibraphone great Bobby Hutcherson, US vocalist Kurt Elling, award-winning young UK band Empirical, experimental Sardinian guitarist Paolo Angeli and New York improv duo Ted Daniel and Michael Marcus.
