Episode Synopsis

Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, in which I interview musicians about how their music helps make the world more harmonious.This episode features a conversation with pianist James Pearson about his work to help celebrate the centenary of the birth of Oscar Peterson. James's live shows are extraordinary and I highly recommend you track down one of his appearances, whether in his guise as house pianist at London's iconic Ronnie Scott's or elsewhere. Thanks to James for allowing me to use extracts from Remembering Oscar Peterson alongside our conversation.Get in touch to let me know what you think!Thank you for listening to Harmonious World.
