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

Released on 1 September, when autumn is definitely in the UK air, this episode features a discussion with pianist Ann Sweeten: she released Still a few weeks ago. As she explains in our conversation, she's already working on tracks for the next album, so watch this space.

Thanks to Ann for allowing me to use tracks from Still alongside our conversation, particularly ending our chat with Autumnal Breeze.

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

Saxophonist Dave Anderson and I began with a chat about his latest album - In Lieu of Flowers - and progressed to discussions about folk music and influences on jazz. We shared our mutual admiration for Maria Schneider and he introduced me to the 'Ernie and Bert' theory (you'll have to listen to find out more).

Thanks to Dave for allowing me to use tracks from In Lieu of Flowers alongside our conversation.

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

This is another special episode, following one last August. In both, I speak to campers and tutors on the Great British Music Camp. This year - GBMC's 10th year - I was delighted to also chat with Ben Mark Turner, Musical Director on Miss Saigon and previously a tutor at GBMC, who visited us for a day.

I hope you enjoy listening to something of the magic behind this amazing camp that brings together musicians and young people.

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

Having met up with bass player, composer and band leader Misha Mullov-Abbado backstage at Alice Zawadzki's Watford Jazz Junction gig a couple of months ago, it was great to chat with him in the lobby of the Barbican Centre. Misha's latest album is Effra and we discussed the tracks, his band and some of the fascinating projects he has coming up.

Thanks to Misha for allowing me to use extracts from Effra alongside our conversation.

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

I chatted with singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Fini Bearman in the lobby of the Barbican Centre, right next door to the Guildhall School of Music where she honed her craft and still helps others do the same. Fini's latest album is Last Night of the World and it was fascinating to discuss the inspiration behind her tunes, including the title track.

Thanks to Fini for allowing me to use extracts from Last Night of the World alongside our conversation.

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

This episode features a conversation with pianist James Pearson about his work to help celebrate the centenary of the birth of Oscar Peterson. James's live shows are extraordinary and I highly recommend you track down one of his appearances, whether in his guise as house pianist at London's iconic Ronnie Scott's or elsewhere. 

Thanks to James for allowing me to use extracts from Remembering Oscar Peterson alongside our conversation.
