Jez Nelson presents a special programme from Ronnie Scott's jazz club in Soho on the opening night of the 2009 London Jazz Festival. With exclusive performances from some of the most sought-after acts at the festival, the line-up illustrates the diversity and value of both established and new artists on the current scene. Veteran vibraphone master Bobby Hutcherson performs with his quartet, dishing up his signature soulful sound, while Grammy-nominated jazz vocalist Kurt Elling performs with his pianist. Plus music from experimental Sardinian guitarist Paolo Angeli and British band Empirical demonstrating their combination of classic and contemporary jazz.
