4.00 Jazz Record Requests
A selection of listeners' requests from the world of jazz, presented by Alyn Shipton
5.00 Jazz Line-Up
Recorded at the London Jazz Festival last month, a performance by fusion bassist Shez Raja and his Collective. Raja trained on the violin from the age of nine, but switched to the bass when he was 13, which allowed him to explore his love of jazz and high-energy grooves. He has toured with, among others, Elephant Talk, Loka, and platinum-selling hip-hop artist MC Lyte, and more recently has collaborated with trumpeter Randy Brecker and guitarist Mike Stern on his album Gurutopia. Presented by Julian Joseph.
