Julian Joseph presents an interview with guitar great John Scofield, who shares some of the music that has influenced and inspired him along with stories from his life in jazz. Over the course of his 50-year career, Scofield has worked with some of the biggest names in music. He made his recording debut with Chet Baker and Gerry Mulligan and went on to play with Charles Mingus and Miles Davis before leading many projects of his own and carving out a signature sound influenced by blues and rock as well as mainstream jazz tradition.

Also in the programme, concert highlights from clarinettist Anat Cohen and Trio Brasileiro, whose recent Grammy-nominated collaboration explores the traditional choro music of Brazil.

Produced by Dominic Tyerman for Somethin’ Else.
