Charles Lloyd's inspirations

Legendary saxophonist Charles Lloyd shares music that inspires him. Plus live music from the Zoe Rahman Quintet from this year's London Jazz Festival.

Julian Joseph presents an intimate interview with legendary saxophonist Charles Lloyd, who shares some of the music that has influenced and inspired him throughout his life – from his school days playing with blues great Howlin' Wolf to his early jazz idols and the music that gave him strength and solace during his decade-long spiritual retreat to Big Sur.

Also in the programme, live music from the Zoe Rahman Quintet, recorded on the J to Z Presents stage at this year’s London Jazz Festival. Together they recreate the warm tones and striking textures of Zoe's latest album, Colour of Sound.
