Melissa Aldana in concert

Live music from Chilean sax star Melissa Aldana and her quintet. Plus drummer Anne Paceo’s inspirations.

Julian Joseph presents live music from Chilean saxophonist Melissa Aldana and her quintet, recorded at SFJazz Center in San Francisco. In 2013 Aldana became the first female musician and the first South American to win the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Saxophone Competition. Since then she's won widespread acclaim for her fresh sound and imaginative soloing.

Also in the programme, leading French drummer Anne Paceo shares some of the music that inspires her and Julian plays a mix of jazz classics and the best new releases.

Produced by Thomas Rees for Somethin’ Else.
