    A selection of chats with great musicians at jazzahead! 2026

    Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, where I interview musicians about how their music helps make the world more harmonious. While spending four days at jazzahead! In Bremen last week, I chatted with several musicians and you can hear extracts from those chats here. I have also started including transcripts, if you would prefer to read what we have talked about. This episode begins with a tiny clip of Sahad’s set, before our conversation begins. Sahad is from Senegal - a musician and an activist and it was so inspirational to chat with him.I spoke to Polish composer and singer Hania Derej in the conference centre itself, so I apologise for the background noise.Santa Sillere is a Latvian jazz vocalist and it was a pleasure to chat about her music, and especially her work with Latvian poets.Canadian trumpeter Rachel Therrien has a new album out called Mi Hogar and we chatted about her music in the conference centre.My chat with Martin Fabricius was another one where we caught up in the hustle and bustle of jazzahead! He’s a Danish vibraphone player and we had lots to talk about.I first came across another Danish musician, Kristoffer Rosing-Schow, when listening to the music of The Counterfictionals. I hadn’t realised that Kristoffer is responsible for the art behind that sextet and he shared some of that with me alongside our chat.My final guest took me back into the Radio Bremen recording studio to chat with Swedish vocalist Sara Alden, who has just released Force of Nature.Thanks to the team at jazzahead! for giving me such great access to amazing musicians, and a huge thank you to Radio Bremen (and especially engineer and producer Michael) for allowing me to use their recording facilities for three of these interviews. In the background of Sara Alden’s interview and my conclusion, you can hear Jasmine Myra’s soundcheck. You can also read my reviews of the four days I spent listening to music on my website.

    Welcome to this trailer for season 24 of Harmonious World

    This year’s Harmonious World episodes are stacking up fast and I’m delighted that there are so many brilliant musicians creating music and talking to me about it. I was pleased to be recognised as one of the top 15 jazz podcasts by PodRanker.  Season 24 is already getting booked up with real musicians joining me for interviews.  I’m an independent podcaster and getting to gigs, spending time on interviews, editing etc takes a lot of my resources. If you’re able to help with just the price of a cup of tea once a month, please check out my Patreon site: the link is in the show notes and there are lots of goodies available as a thank you. Please keep listening to Harmonious World and share, rate and review wherever you find me. It really does help. For now, thank you for listening - especially those of you who I meet in real life or send me messages - and I hope you stay happy, safe and well. Get in touch to let me know what you think!

    Discussing ‘This is Nowhere. This is Everywhere’ with Earth-o-Naut

    Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, where I interview musicians about how their music helps make the world more harmonious. I have wanted to chat with Terry Shaughnessy, AKA Earth-o-Naut, for several months. It was great to have a chat with him, particularly as his album This is Nowhere. This is Everywhere comes out at the end of May. Earth-o-Naut is also in the running for one of the prized Jazz FM awards. Nick Pitts, Jazz FM and Magic Classical Content Director: “The nominees for 2026 perfectly capture the breadth of today’s thriving jazz landscape. In the last year, jazz as an artform has really broken ground and not only continued to innovate in its own creative universe but has also heavily influenced the mainstream music world with the likes of Ezra Collective and RAYE. It’s brilliant that our esteemed judging panel have recognised their talents alongside some of the new and established jazz artists who are making a massive impact across the community. Good luck to them all!” Thanks to Terry for allowing me to play extracts from This is Nowhere. This is Everywhere alongside our conversation. Get in touch to let me know what you think!
