Gaurab Thakali, illustrator and artist based in London, is one of the most influential visual interpreters of South-London's contemporary jazz scene. We chat about his upbringing in Nepal; his coming of age in London; his discovery of jazz culture as a student at the Camberwell College of Arts and the musicians and clubs that shaped his imagination.
Last but not least, he gives us a spoiler on the  multidisciplinary exhibition "Return to Slygo", his latest collaboration with fashion designer Nicholas Daley, on display this spring at Greenwich's NOW Gallery.
