Jazz Line-Up - The Portico Quartet and Eric Legnini

Julian Joseph interviews the Portico Quartet, who are comprised of Jack Wylie (soprano saxophone), Milo Fitzpatrick (double bass), Nick Mulvey (Hang and percussion) and Duncan Bellamy (drums and Hang). Their music's inimitable sound comes from the flying saucer-shaped Hang, which evokes a type of ethereal saxophone. It was Bellamy's chance purchase of the Hang at a music festival that inspired these young friends to start a band. And Belgian pianist Eric Legnini takes Julian through some of his writing. Legnini is one of the most talented young pianists around, and after spending two years working in New York with American pianist Richie Beirach, he is now performing and touring Europe with his own group. Legnini has played with leading musicians such as John Ruocco and Aldo Romano. He used to tour also with world famous Toots Thielemans but has now established himself as a standing headlining artist.
