Radio 3 at the Summer Festivals Jez Nelson presents versatile trumpeter and composer Dave Douglas recorded in concert at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival 2009. His quintet features Donny McCaslin on saxophone, Orren Evans on Fender Rhodes, Scott Colley on bass and Clarence Penn on drums. Douglas' big break came in 1987 when he joined Horace Silver's group and began touring internationally. Since then Douglas has toured with John Zorn's Masada and many of his own groups, covering a wide range of influences from Ornette Coleman and Mary Lou Williams to Western art music and European folk.
