Branford Marsalis

Julian Joseph talks to saxophone virtuoso Branford Marsalis to coincide with the release of his album Metamorphose. Plus a preview of the 2009 Cheltenham Jazz Festival.

Julian Joseph is joined by saxophonist Branford Marsalis - with whom he often played while at Berklee College in Boston - to talk about jazz and its changes through the years as well as the latter's attitude to composition - in particular, curious time signatures.

Marsalis's latest CD is titled Metamorphose, and features Jory Calderadso on piano, Eric Revis on bass and Jeff 'Tain' Watts on drums. He has commented about his group: 'We try to do everything. We are prepared to play anything at any time, including songs we don't know'.

And Tony-Dudley Evans, programmer of the 14th Cheltenham Jazz Festival, previews the seven-day event.
