In a change of focus, the latest episode of Harmonious World is not about a new musical release, but rather a book on the topic of the music business. It's a second conversation with trombonist and  Outside In Music  founder and CEO  Nick Finzer .     Create, Connect, Repeat  is a fascinating book that provides a career strategy of building a live in a creative industry - any creative industry. In our conversation, Nick and I discuss the ways in which connect with your audience have changed and can be capitalised on by artists.     Thanks to Nick for allowing me to use clips alongside our conversation from one of my favourite tracks of his -   Evolutions of Perspective  - which is musically and conceptually spot on for this topic.

This episode of Harmonious World features a conversation with banjo virtuoso  John Bullard , in which we discuss his  24 Preludes for Solo Banjo  by  Adam Larrabee .     The Preludes were commissioned by John and each one has a very different character. In our conversation, we discuss the order, which runs musically through Volume 1 and we have to wait for it to come full circle at the end of Volume 2, when that is released. In this work, John is aiming to expand the banjo's classical reach.     Thanks to John for allowing me to use clips from  24 Preludes for Solo Banjo  alongside our conversation.

 Just a few random musings on my recent trip to Paris, with a few photos here if you'd like to check them out:

I was joined by Italian guitarist and composer  Simone Gubbiotti  for the latest episode of Harmonious World .     Underdogs  is both the name of the new album and the trio that includes bassist Davide Liberti and drummer Paolo Franciscone. The album includes soulful and frenetic jazz - something for everyone.     Thanks to Simone for allowing me to use clips from  Underdogs  alongside our conversation.
