Billy Jenkins

Claire Martin talks to blues singer and guitarist Billy Jenkins about his life and career, including his work as a humanist preacher and a recent concert with the 大象传媒 Big Band.

Billy Jenkins has become something of a cult figure in the jazz world yet his musical style and personality is something of an enigma. Claire Martin talks to him and explores the many aspects of his life as a blues singer, virtuoso jazz guitarist, composer and latterly as a humanist preacher. Notably, the nephew of David Jenkins, former outspoken Bishop of Durham, Claire explores his humanist calling and the influences and contrasts on his music and stage persona.
