After the various heats Sunday was judgement day and time for 2009's winner, bassist Andrew Robb, to hand over the title. The house lights dimmed and the backing group of pianist Brian Kellock, drummer Alyn Cosker and bassist Mario Caribe took to the stage and provided the finalists with an inspired backing to show off their talents and shine... and boy did they shine! We heard saxophones galore, driving piano, the pounding of drums and even some jazz clarsach from the finalists... but who won?Perhaps you caught it LIVE on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Radio Scotland or you were at the gig so you may already know? If not (or you just fancy another listen!) be sure to tune in to the repeat on Wednesday's Jazz House (23 June) at 8pm to find out who was crowned this year's winner, and watch out for loads of added content to Scotland's Music over the coming days too.
