The problem with this week’s London Jazz Festival is that there are so many good gigs on, there are bound to be at least two you want to see at any one time. But you can’t be in two places at once, so what do you do? Well tune in to Jazz On 3 tonight - at the earlier time of 10.30 – and you can be in not just two, but several places at once! There’s live music from six of the very best musicians and bands performing over the coming week.
