This week we're joined by the super talented and very interesting Alex Webb - pianist, composer, arranger and serial collaborator.

We chat about his fabulous new album British Standard Time featuring Jo Harrop, Carroll Thompson, Luca Manning and Tony Momrelle, reflect on the jazz scene in the UK in some depth and explore all the motivations behind continuing to write and create.

It's a beaut!
