Julian Joseph talks to in-demand bassist Christian McBride about his new band's first album, Inside Straight. A musician who has long played with an acoustic line-up, McBride has united pianist Eric Reed, alto saxophonist Steve Wilson, drummer Carl Allen, and vibraphonist and former pupil of his Warren Woolf for an album of hard swing jazz and blues groove.

Plus a concert given by the European Jazz Orchestra, one of the most ambitious musical projects that the European Broadcasting Union has created. A minimum of 19 players from as many European countries assemble under the direction of a host nation (this year Romania) who appoint a musical director and commission music for the band. The musicians then tour around Europe for two weeks ending with one concert that is recorded for European Radio broadcast. The musical director is Romanian-born Peter Herbolizheimer, who has for the first time introduced Latin percussion and three vocalists to the line-up.
