Episode Synopsis "14. Interview with Jean-Baptiste Richon, pianist, Edinburgh, UK"

John talks with a French friend, JB, who plays jazz piano and uses the method to learn songs in bands of various jazz styles. The discussion covers how JB has found the method useful and how it relates to the way we learn a new language. The podcast ends with an example of the aural tradition: a song being taught with no sheet music and then played in several keys, all within the space of 15 minutes.
