Why Happy Days neglects to include more jazz and improv in its programme is anyone's guess but at least the excellent Beckett festival, which begins on 31 July, this year features the superb Balkan-inspired chamber-jazz of Yurodny. The ensemble has recorded a number of albums for Daniel Jacobson's Diatribe Records so far, and appear at Happy Days as support to Gavin Bryars in St Michael's church on 1 August.
Listen to Yurodny perform Oleg Ponomarev's 'Crows Hora', above
