Deepening The River : Multicultural Jazz

Seonaid Aitken explores the exotic side of jazz , where music and rhythms from other cultures collide, including a preview of Paul Towndrow's new album Deepening The River.

Seonaid Aitken explores the exotic side of jazz where music and rhythms from other cultures collide to create a new fusion of sound. Including brand new music from bassist Shez Raja’s album ‘Tales From The Punjab’ and ‘Afrofuturism’ from percussionist Michael Wimberley in collaboration with singer Joss Stone (recent winner of The Masked Singer). Plus a Jazz Nights exclusive, an in-depth conversation with saxophonist Paul Towndrow previewing his brand new album ‘Deepening The River’ which merges jazz with the folks sounds of Scotland and India. Pianist Richard Michael pays tribute to the late Chick Corea with a performance of his composition La Fiesta as part of this week’s Song Book, saxophonist Binker Golding shares some new free jazz and there’s time for a virtual boogie across the airwaves as we Dance To The Music with an Earth, Wind and Fire classic from 1979.
