Harmonious World
Harmonious World consists of interviews with great musicians, composers and producers across all genres, from jazz to classical, from folk to rock and everything in between. I’m a writer, musician and podcaster and this all started with a Quincy Jones quote I came across by chance during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown: “Imagine what a harmonious world it could be if every single person, both young and old, shared a little of what he is good at doing." I'm so pleased to have interviewed - and will continue to interview - so many great musicians from around the world.

Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, featuring a conversation with cellist Karlos Rodriguez from The Catalyst Quartet.
This is my second conversation with members of the quartet - the first was with viola player Paul Laraia for episode 39, back in the depths of the Covid-19 pandemic. Now the quartet is onto the third volume of Uncovered, where they highlight the works of rarely-played black composers.
During our conversation, Karlos hints at the content for a proposed volume 4!
Thanks to Karlos and The Catalyst Quartet for allowing me to play extracts from Uncovered 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."
