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

A few weeks ago, I was introduced to Joshua Josué’s new album - Broadcast to the Surf Ballroom - and reviewed it. Now I’ve had the chance to chat with him about what moved him to create this fascinating collection of tunes based around music left behind by Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens.

Thanks to Joshua for allowing me to play extracts from Broadcast to the Surf Ballroom alongside our conversation.

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."

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

I spoke to American conductor Garrett Keast first in 2021 and then in 2022 and it’s been a pleasure to chart the development of the Berlin Academy of American Music. It’s also interesting to hear about his other conducting work.

It was good to also talk about our mutual friend, pianist and composer Craig Urquhart, who I have met in person while visiting Berlin. He features as a guest in episodes from 2022 and then our live chat in 2024.

Thanks to Garrett for allowing me to play extracts from various BAAM performances alongside our conversation.
