Chatting with pianist and composer Paul Edis about composition, working with others, and his wonderful new album

Watford Jazz Junction

In this week’s episode we chat with the very talented pianist, composer and arranger Paul Edis.

We chat about his latest album "The Still Point of the Turning World", his creative processes when working within classical and jazz genres, and who he turns to for support as a musician and a creator.

There’s of course a very taxing quiz(!), an evolution within our fantasy house band, and some fabulous album recommendations that even made the host’s hairs stand up on his arms, including:

Night Train by Oscar Peterson (1963) released on Verve

Kind of Blue by Miles Davis (1959) released on Columbia

Solo Monk by Thelonius Monk (1965) released on Columbia
