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.

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."
