BBC Radio 3 - In Tune, Matthew Halsall and the Gondwana Orchestra, Christopher Purves, Simon Lepper, Sarah Dacey

With live music from Matthew Halsall and the Gondwana Orchestra plus Christopher Purves.

With live music from jazz trumpeter Matthew Halsall with the Gondwana Orchestra, baritone Christopher Purves with pianist Simon Lepper plus Sarah Dacey from Juice Vocal Ensemble.

Guests include Manchester-based trumpeter, composer, arranger and band-leader Matthew Halsall performing with The Gondwana Orchestra. Matthew's unique sound has been described as 'rain-streaked spiritual jazz from Manchester' and The Gondwana Orchestra play deep, soulful modal and spiritual jazz drawing on the legacy of Alice Coltrane and influenced by Halsall's love of Eastern music and the more contemporary sounds of Cinematic Orchestra. The group includes a Japanese koto alongside bass and piano.

Baritone Christopher Purves sings music by Handel, Duparc and Mussorgsky live in the studio with pianist Simon Lepper ahead of their Wigmore recital, plus Sarah Dacey of Juice Vocal Ensemble discusses their upcoming album of ten specially commissioned love songs, including a Valentine's single composed by Anna Meredith.
