Jazz Line-Up - Michael Garrick

Claire Martin talks to composer and pianist Michael Garrick about his latest project - the suite Lady of the Aurian Wood, which is based on the music of Duke Ellington. With a performance by the Michael Garrick Big Band, playing all the Garrick originals, as well as Michael explaining the purpose of his new album, and how the music of Ellington inspired him and most of his contemporaries. Plus up-and-comping band Brass Jaw, who make their debut on the programme in excerpts from a gig performed at the BBC's studios in Glasgow as part of the city's International Jazz Festival 2009. A group without a rhythm section, they are made up of baritone saxophonist Allon Beauvoisin, trumpeter Ryan Quigley, alto saxophonist Paul Towndrow and tenor saxophonist Konrad Wiszniewski.
