A chat with funky trombonist, composer and educator Dennis Rollins

Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, in which I interview musicians about how their music helps make the world more harmonious.




This conversation took place between sets at Cambridge Jazz Festival a couple of weeks ago, when Dennis Rollins was working as composer, conductor and artistic director with the Cambridge University Jazz Orchestra. It was a real pleasure to chat with Dennis and I hope we can fit in a more lengthy conversation in the near future.

His passion for education knows no bounds, and you can experience his wisdom wherever you are in the world at funkytrombone.com

Thanks to Dennis for allowing me to play clips of a couple of his tracks alongside our conversation.

Thank you for listening to Harmonious World. Please rate, review and share: click on the link and subscribe to support the show.

Don't forget the Quincy Jones quote that sums up why I do this: "Imagine what a harmonious world it would be if every single person, both young and old, shared a little of what he is good at doing."
