Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, in which I interview musicians about how their music helps make the world more harmonious.

In preparation for this episode, I sat in on a recording session at the famous Abbey Road studios. Composer Jamie Poulsen and I then met for coffee and a chat a few days later.

The recording session was principally for Jamie's Piano Concerto (a few clips of which you can hear alongside our conversation), performed by members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and pianist Robert Thies. On hand for Production was my past guest Danae Xanthe Vlasse and it was a delight to experience the magic of recording once more.

Jamie and I also discussed his wide-ranging piano and composing credits, as well as his work (that sounds like a lot of fun) with the NOLA Jazz Band.

I hope you enjoy listening in on my chat with Jamie and I'm grateful to him for sending me a sneak preview of his Piano Concerto to feature alongside our conversation.

Get in touch to let me know what you think!

Don't forget the Quincy Jones quote that sums up why I do this: "Imagine what a harmonious world it would be if every single person, both young and old, shared a little of what he is good at doing."
