Claire Martin presents a performance by bass virtuoso Ron Carter, recorded at the A-Train Jazz Club in Berlin. Once a mainstay of the Miles Davis band, Carter plays with pianist Stephen Scott, drummer Payton Crossley and percussionist Rolando Morales-Matos. The programme includes Davis's Flamenco Sketches as well as Carter's own compositions Mr Bowtie and Orpheus and Oscar Pettiford's Blues in the Closet.

Claire also previews the 2009 Manchester Jazz Festival, now expanded to a nine-day event, which features jazz from home and beyond. Festival director Steve Mead discusses the event's aims and extensive music mix.
