Episode overview
A live concert in which British jazz pianist and composer Julian Joseph leads an All-Star Big Band through a selection of jazz standards and his own compositions. His band includes Peter King, Andy Sheppard, Tony Remy, Guy Barker and his regular drummer, Mark Mondesir. Joseph promises an evening that will "swing and swing hard" encompassing trio, sextet and a big band. Numbers lined up include Marcus Miller's tribute to the late Miles Davis, The King is Gone, Joseph's own Swingstone and Frobbloble, and a version of Nat King Cole's Everything Happens to Me. During the interval, in a film specially shot for tonight's programme, Joseph explores his own initiation to jazz and talks viewers through some of the jazz classics that have influenced him. Introduced by Geoffrey Smith.
