The Kennedy Center in Washington has given over its famous plaza to a collection of skateboarders and musicians.

Called Finding a Line, the festival is the brainchild of Jason Moran, the Center's Artistic Director for Jazz.

It features bands playing live music as skaters plunge in and out of a specially-designed bowl.

We recently caught up with Mr Moran, who explained how the worlds of skateboarding and jazz intersect.

Produced by Mat Morrison; filmed and edited by Bill McKenna.
