Jez Nelson presents highlights from a festival held at the Vortex Jazz Club, arranged by London's Loop Collective, considered to be a breeding ground for innovative young musicians in the city.

The festival features the edgy beats and duelling saxes of Outhouse, whose self-titled debut album was well received on its release in 2008. Plus trios from two hotly tipped pianists: Alcyona Mick, who co-leads Blink with saxophonist Robin Fincker, and Jasper Hoiby's Phronesis.
