Chatting with one of Europe's leading jazz clarinet players Adrian Cox about life on the road, Bad Manners and jazz in New York

Watford Jazz Junction

Chris chats with virtuoso jazz clarinetist Adrian Cox about all his many jazz and musical junctions.

Adrian talks about his early influences including the Pasadena Roof Orchestra through to his admiration of Edmond Hall. We also undertake our inaugural live clarinet Q&A!

Adrian is full of energy and great tales of jazz derring-do, the rights & wrongs of Spotify and why we should all be listening to trumpeter Tom Harold.

His album recommendations include:

• Jazz at Vespers by George Lewis (1954) on Fantasy

• Rumpus on Rampart Street by Edmond Hall (1959) on RAE Cox

• Ambassador Satch by Louis Armstrong and his All Stars (1956) on Columbia
