Joining the show is Olivia Cuttill as a guest host. Saxophonist and composer Mark Lockheart first came to prominence in the mid 1980s with the influential big band Loose Tubes. In 1992 Mark formed the eclectic co-led quartet Perfect Houseplants, a group that released six albums and collaborated with classical artists such as the Orlando Consort, Andrew Manze and Pamela Thorby. The mid-90s saw Mark recording and performing with many jazz, folk and pop artists, including Django Bates, Kenny Wheeler, Norma Winstone, June Tabor, Stereolab, Jah Wobble, Robert Wyatt, Prefab Sprout, Don Um Romao, Thomas Dolby and Radiohead.In 2003 Mark joined Seb Rochford's Polar Bear, which over a period of 12 years recorded six ground-breaking albums. The band's second album, Held On The Tips Of Fingers, was nominated for the 2005 Mercury Award and later appeared in Jazzwise's 100 Albums That Shook the World. The band's fifth album, In Each And Every Way, was also nominated for a Mercury Award in 2013. In 2007 Mark was a featured soloist (along with John Pattitucci and Gwilym Simcock) in Mark Anthony Turnage's About Water, which premiered on the Southbank in June 2007. Mark collaborated several times more with Turnage, performing his A Man Descending with the Southbank Sinfonia in 2008 and more recently as one of the featured musicians in Turnage's opera Anna Nicole, which premiered at the Royal Opera House in London in 2011. In 2009 Mark's quintet album In Deep was released to critical acclaim. The following year saw the release of Mark's first big band album Days Like These with the Hamburg-based NDR big band. That same year Mark was awarded APPJC Parliamentary Jazz Musician of the Year 2010. In 2013 Mark released Ellington In Anticipation, a radical reworking of Ellington melodies with an all-star line up including Seb Rochford and Liam Noble. The album received numerous four and five-star reviews and was MOJO magazine's Jazz Album of 2013 and nominated as Best Jazz CD of 2013 by the APPJC at the 2014 Parliamentary Awards.  An invitation to perform at the New York Rochester Jazz Festival in 2014 led to the formation of Mark's trio, Malija, with bassist Jasper Hoiby and pianist Liam Noble. Malija's debut album The Day I Had Everything was released in December 2015 to critical acclaim. The group's second album Instinct was released in 2017 followed by a 21-date tour.  In 2016 Mark was awarded Jazz FM Instrumentalist of the Year and also nominated for the British Composer Awards for his composition With One Voice.

Edición consagrada al jazz... with strings, proyectos con cuerdas pero alejados de la estética de baladistas con acompañamientos de orquesta de cámara. Así, en esta edición de 'Club de Jazz' del 25 de marzo de 2016, escuchamos el proyecto "Something personal" de Peter Herborn, que contó con un cuarteto de cuerda integrado en un conjunto de improvisadores con nombres como el saxofonista Tim Berne o el guitarrista Marc Ducret. Contar con violinistas como Mark Feldman le permite al saxofonista integrar las cuerdas en su magnífico "Imaginary cities" con su Underground Orchestra; el guitarrista Joel Harrison le montó un String choir para la música de Paul Motian; Bill Frisell se balanceó entre ellas en su Sign of life junto al 858 Quartet. La música "clásica" es siempre campo de inspiración para jazzistas, como para el contrabajista John Hébert y el pianista Lucian Ban que rindieron tributo al violinista y compositor rumano George Enesco; con un carácter más lúdico, el pianista italiano Stefano Bollani firmó un divertido y virtuoso Concertone junto a la Orchestra della Toscana; tanto con orquesta como con un pequeño conjunto de cámara trabajó el pianista británico Gwilym Simcock en "Instrumation", mientras el trombonista alemán Nils Wogram completó su grupo Root 70 with strings.

Edición consagrada al jazz... with strings, proyectos con cuerdas pero alejados de la estética de baladistas con acompañamientos de orquesta de cámara.

Radio 3's Piano A to Z

Ever since the early ragtime of Scott Joplin and Jelly Roll Morton the piano has been a key instrument in the development of Jazz. Associated with the smoky bar-room, the instrument allows the jazz pianist to play all the elements of the band - stretching the harmony, roll a great rhythmic bottom-end, and improvise singing, soaring melodies. Art Tatum, Duke Ellington, Bill Evans, Thelonius Monk, Herbie Hancock, among others, all stretched what the Jazz piano could do. Featuring Julian Joseph and Gwilym Simcock.

The piano is an unusual musical instrument in that all ten digits of the performer can be used to sound different notes simultaneously. Fingers need practice, and practice makes perfect. Working hard to build strength and dexterity is part and parcel of every pianist's story, and just as in sport, exercises are a necessary evil. But what can start out as a chore when young can eventually become a pleasure when technique is more advanced and exercises turn into Chopin or Moskowski Etudes – written and designed for developing technique but also being very beautiful music. Featuring Lucy Parham, Gwilym Simcock, Richard Sisson and David Owen Norris

Mit "Heart Luggage" (ATS-Records/Extraplatte) gelang Klaus Gesing, der am Sopran Saxofon, Bassklarinette und Floeten zu hoeren ist und auch fuer die Loops zustaendig ist, ein kammermusikalisch virtuoses wie rundes Jazzalbum. Verzichtet wird dabei auf platte Schablonen, vielmehr schaelt Klaus Gesing gemeinsam mit Gwilym Simcock am Piano und Melodica, Yuri Goloube am Double Bass und Asaf Sirkis am Schlagwerk und Perkussion paneuropaeische Musiklandschaften im Cinemascope-Format hervor. Das Album bietet sieben Eigenkompositionen, ein Traditional und eine Neuinterpretation von John Coltranes "Giant Steps"." Ich habe viel Volksmusik gehoert und das hat sich in meinen Gehirnwindungen einfach festgesetzt", laesst Klaus Gesing in den Liner-Notes ausrichten, und ergaenzt: "Das kommt an allen Ecken und Enden wieder heraus, ob ich will oder nicht." Und so kommt eben ein musikalischer Spiegel seiner eigenen Zerrissenheit heraus, denn "Volksmusik hat fuer mich", wie er sagt, "mit Heimat zu tun", aber manchmal wisse er einfach nicht wo er sich zuhause fuehlen soll.
