Show Notes
This week Lloyd and Rotimi are joined by jazz icon Courtney Pine, as they explore the roots and evolution of jazz in the UK. Together they trace the journey of jazz from African-American community music to a uniquely British sound and expression. They talk culture, gatekeeping, community, and why real jazz is all about live energy. This one’s a deep and vibrant dive into what keeps the genre alive and kicking. A truly leg-endy listen.
