Routes: A Jazz Impressions Podcast – Episode 6

In this tribute episode, we join the dots between Stanley Cowell’s heartfelt composition ‘Sienna: Welcome My Darling’ and Chick Corea’s swirling, impressionistic ‘Litha’. Plus we delve into Sweden, beekeeping and the discography of L. Ron Hubbard – and be sure to listen out for Ollie’s uncanny impression of a shakuhachi.
