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 drummer, percussionist and composer Tristan Banks.
Tristan's new album - View From Above - is out now on Ubuntu Music, featuring saxist Paul Booth, pianist John Crawford and Davide Mantovani on bass. Our conversation wends its way around the tracks on the album itself, touring live and the state of the UK gig industry. Tristan's also manager of the Verdict Jazz Club in Brighton and we touch on all things to do with live performance in this episode.
Thanks to Tristan for allowing me to play extracts from View From Above alongside our conversation.
