Jazz Goes To Leeds 87.7FM Radio Show 9th December 2014

As part of the ELFM "Tuned In" festival of live FM broadcasts I produced a show of jazz, improvised and experimental music broadcast 6pm Tuesday 9th December 2014. The show was originally broadcast on 87.7FM. 

"An hour of jazz and improvised music from in and around the Leeds area, illustrating the diversity of styles that the music can incorporate. Jazz Goes To Leeds will feature recorded music from around the region in conjunction with live music and discussion with Sam Jackson and his latest “Drawing Hands” project"
