  • Kyle Eastwood.

    The host is lazy. Don’t let Kyle correct what you should clearly and easily know. Research, baby, put in the work before the interviews.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Steve Banks, Jonathan Silk & Josephine Davies
Q: How did the educational projects influence the final ensemble and how did the roles develop?
Silk and Steve describe how projects at multiple conservatories helped flesh out the arrangements, with the Jazz Orchestra and Choir evolving through Birmingham, Guildhall, Leeds Conservatoire and other institutions, before the live recording.
Steve Banks, Jonathan Silk & Josephine Davies
Q: Tell us about the project and how it evolved.
Steve explains that Emboldened began as a Quintet album and, through collaboration with Jonathan Silk, expanded into a Jazz Orchestra and Choir, creating a larger, more expansive musical concept.
Vivienne Aerts - Current
Q: The album is released on June 26th, and you have a concert on a boat in the Netherlands for the summer?
Yes, there is a concert in New York on June 28th on a historic clipper, and there are plans for more performances later in the summer, including additional boat-based events and collaborations to showcase the live, multi-sensory nature of the project.
Vivienne Aerts - Current
Q: And how did you choose the personnel on your record? Was it just who was available and lived by the water or did you have a more targeted approach?
I considered collaborators I had worked with before and those who could work within the boat's logistics; the goal was to keep the sessions organic and spontaneous, so the musicians arrived with the ability to improvise and adapt to the environment rather than over-rehearsed pieces.
Rob Cope - Phoenix Vol. 1
Q: What was the workflow that allowed Phoenix Volume 1 to come together in a single day of recording?
The three musicians—Liam Noble, Lawrence Cottle, and Paul Clavis—brought a balance of groove, timekeeping, and creative input, and the charts were designed to be sight-readable, enabling quick, high-quality takes that produced enough material for two volumes in one session.
