Jools shares his lifelong passion for classical music and the beautiful connections with jazz and blues. With fascinating guests each week, who bring their own favourite music and occasionally perform live in Jools's studio.
Today, Jools's choices include music by Joseph Haydn, Steve Reich and Big Maceo, with performances by Nina Simone, Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective and Antal Dorati. We revisit an interview with the late artist Brian Clarke who died earlier this year.
