Stravinsky plus Jason Moran

Julian Joseph explores the relationship between Igor Stravinsky and jazz, and pianist Jason Moran shares some of the music that inspires him, including a Thelonious Monk classic.

As Radio 3 marks 50 years since the pioneering composer's death, Julian Joseph explores the relationship between Igor Stravinsky and jazz. As Julian explains, Stravinsky was inspired by American jazz, but many jazz musicians also took inspiration from him. Sharing classic recordings, Julian charts Stravinsky's influence on bebop and beyond and explains why jazz musicians can't get enough of The Rite of Spring.

Also in the programme, visionary pianist Jason Moran shares some of the music that inspires him, including the Thelonious Monk recording that made him dedicate his life to jazz, and a feature by Geri Allen that epitomises the search for freedom.

Produced by Dominic Tyerman for Somethin' Else.
