Julian Joseph presents concert highlights from trumpeter Nick Walter’s set at this year’s Manchester Jazz Festival. Based between London and Manchester, Nick blends spiritual, modal and eastern jazz together with electronic music to make creatively rich soundscapes. He was joined on stage by key players in the UK jazz community, Tenderlonious on reeds, Laurie Lowe on drums, Nim Sadot on bass and Rebecca Nash on piano, for a set that played with the light and shade of melody and harmony to entrancing effect.

Also in the programme we hear from Los Angeles based singer-songwriter and producer Genevieve Artadi, who is one half of cult jazz-pop duo Knower with Louis Cole, and known for her work with Thundercat, Snarky Puppy and more. Following the release of her latest solo album, Forever Forever, Genevieve shares some of the music that has influenced and inspired her, reflecting on the minimalist genius of Miles Davis and the boldness of Nancy Wilson.
