Matthew Sweet talks to writer Glen David Gold about his new novel Sunnyside.

Matthew Sweet talks to writer Glen David Gold about fictionalising Charlie Chaplin in his new novel Sunnyside.

Matthew Sweet talks to writer Glen David Gold about fictionalising Charlie Chaplin in his new novel Sunnyside. Author of the bestselling book Carter Beats the Devil, the author grew up in Hollywood and was inspired to recreate the character of Chaplin by his great aunt Ingrid, a journalist, who was Chaplin's neighbour. Family legend has it that Chaplin dictated parts of his autobiography to her.

Gold's novel takes its title from Chaplin's most unusual movie, a rare financial flop called Sunnyside. At just 34 minutes long, the 1919 film cobbled together several incongruous scenes, including some classic slapstick, a surreal dance with wood nymphs, a violent suicide and a baffling happy ending. Having already made more than 60 movies before he was 30, the Little Tramp could perhaps be forgiven this creative mis-step, but Gold sees the film as the culmination of personal and professional crises in the artist's life, and uses it as the finale to this biographical novel.

David Stancliffe, Bishop of Salisbury, discusses Haydn's view of the Almighty.

David Stancliffe, Bishop of Salisbury, discusses Haydn's view of the Almighty. Are his six Mass settings the music that best represents his view of God?

Series considering different aspects of Haydn's life, work and reputation.

David Stancliffe, Bishop of Salisbury and an experienced musical performer himself, reflects on the composer's view of the Almighty. Haydn composed a great deal of music for the church including the six settings of the Mass that were among his final masterpieces. But are they the music that best represents his view of God? He lived at a time when the old certainties were being challenged by science and philosophy. Is it impossible to tell where Haydn stood on matters of faith from his music?

Jez Nelson presents a concert from saxophonist Joe Lovano with his quintet Us Five.

Jez Nelson presents a concert from saxophonist Joe Lovano with his quintet Us Five at Ronnie Scott's in London. The set features melodic tunes interwoven with free improvisation.

Jez Nelson presents a concert from US saxophonist Joe Lovano with his new quintet Us Five at Ronnie Scott's in London. The set features melodic tunes interwoven with free improvisation, and employs all combinations of players within the group. Playing a range of horns and folk instruments, Lovano is joined by James Weidman on piano, bassist Esperanza Spalding and two drummers - Otis Brown and Francesco Mela.

Joe Lovano was born in Ohio to a musical family in 1952. He rose to prominence during the 1980s playing with John Scofield's quartet and Paul Motion's bass-less trio with Bill Frisell. Since then, he has led many of his own groups, developing a tone that combines Stan Getz's melodic style and Coltrane's gruffness with a sound knowledge of jazz composition to date.
