Julian Joseph presents an exclusive interview with Brazilian jazz singer Flora Purim, best known for her contribution to jazz fusion as part of Return to Forever with Chick Corea and Stanley Clarke. With her graceful tone and uncommon six-octave range, she has worked with greats such as Jaco Pastorius, Gil Evans and her partner Airto Moreira and contributed to two Grammy-winning albums, with Dizzy Gillespie and Mickey Hart respectively. Here she shares some of the music that has illustrated her life, reflecting on encounters with Horace Silver, Ron Carter and Milton Nascimento.

Also in the programme, Julian looks ahead to this year’s We Out Here festival, featuring spiritual jazz master Pharoah Sanders, harpist Nala Sinephro and more.
