=====================

Multi-instrumentalist, bandleader and composer Django Bates, recorded live at this year's Cheltenham
Festival, including a new work specially commissioned by Jazz on 3 and Radio 3 for rising stars on the
UK scene. Bates's reputation as a writer and performer of richly inventive, often humorous improvised
music was forged in the 1980s as part of the Loose Tubes big band. The group's energetic, off-the-wall
approach has had a lasting influence on British jazz, despite the limited availability of their recordings,
and their impact is celebrated in this new commission. Bates has handpicked leading members of the latest
generation of UK jazz musicians to perform it, including Shabaka Hutchings, James Allsopp and Kit Downes.
The composer promises "something very groove-orientated" in his new music.
