David Bowie - Jazz Genie

Hosted by Neil Cowley, 'David Bowie - Jazz Genie' is a special one hour programme in celebration of the impact that David Bowie had on music and popular culture as a whole.

Hosted by Neil Cowley, 'David Bowie: Jazz Genie' is a special one hour programme in celebration of the profound impact that David Bowie had on music and popular culture as a whole. We explore the influence of Bowie on generations of jazz musicians and in turn look at the influence jazz had over Bowie’s music. Guests on the show include GRAMMY® winner Robert Glasper, drummer Dylan Howe, vocalist Ian Shaw, Maria Schneider, talking about when she worked with Bowie in 2014 with her orchestra and Mike Garson who is Bowie's pianist on 18 different albums including Aladdin Sane - he talks about Bowie's love of Jazz and also about the avant garde piano solo he plays on Aladdin Sane. Bowie was a long time jazz fan and saxophonist himself - reportedly, aged 14, he couldn’t decide if he wanted, "to be a rock’n’roll singer or John Coltrane."
