Jumok茅 Fashola celebrates Ezra Collective鈥檚 Mercury Prize win with highlights from their Glastonbury set.
Elsewhere in the show, Jumok茅 looks ahead to National Poetry Day, sharing an interview with surrealist blues poet and activist aja monet. aja's poetry is deeply reflective, rooted in love, joy, community and the fight against social injustice. Her stunning debut album 'when the poems do what they do' blends jazz and spoken word and features several leading lights, among them trumpeter Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah, pianist and vocalist Samora Pinderhughes, flautist Elena Pinderhughes and drummer Marcus Gilmore. Here aja discusses some of her inspirations, including a Gary Bartz track that reworks a poem by Langston Hughes to dazzling effect.
