GSP26: Howard Murray

 

It's a busy episode, this one. It's a great interview with Chris's father-in-law Howard, who had his first professional gig as a jazz saxophonist on New Year's Eve 1959. We talk about the appearance and subsequent domination of rock & roll over traditional jazz, performing across Europe, and his love of the jazz and blues clubs of New Orleans.

If THAT wasn't enough, Chris and Alex discuss the recent NHS gig at Gorilla by The Charlatans, dignity-stripping encounters with famous people, and an exclusive interview with James and Ian from EMF - not to mention a chat about the upcoming live episode with Tony Walsh and James Holt at The Deaf Institute as part of Tim Burgess's Vinyl Adventures Mcr on Sunday 5th December.

Phew!
