Ladies and gentlemen, the inspirational Arturo O'Farrill
You know how, as a parent, you're not allowed to have favourite children? As a podcaster, I can't have favourite guests, but Arturo O'Farrill would definitely be in the top three!
I had the immense pleasure of speaking to pianist, composer, band leader, educator and truly inspirational Arturo O'Farrill for the latest episode of Harmonious World.
Virtual Birdland brings to your ears 10 compositions from over 50 online concerts recorded from the safety of the musicians' homes during the pandemic. This album is a sure-thing for a Grammy in 2022 and it brings to life some of the wonderful music performed regularly at Birdland by O'Farrill's Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra.Thanks to Arturo for allowing me to play extracts from the album alongside our conversation.
