Jazz on 3

Jez Nelson presents a studio session by British pianist Liam Noble, who plays a series of duos with drummer Dave Wickens, cellist Okkyung Lee and trumpeter Chris Batchelor, before the four come together for two group improvisations. A lyrical, inventive and highly individual improviser and composer, Noble is considered one of the gems of the UK jazz scene. He is known for his ability to re-invent, coupling a deep knowledge and appreciation of jazz masters such as Duke Ellington, Dave Brubeck and Bill Evans with an entirely contemporary approach to music.
