Over the past fifteen months I have had the immense privilege to work with BBC producers Sushil Dade, Lindsay Pell and David Allison, and to devise and present six scripted features for BBC Radio  3’s Jazz Line-Up, each lasting between fifteen and twenty minutes. They gave me a wonderful brief to “take us out of the studio and tell us a story.” 

I have ideas for quite a few more, bu since there is a pause at the moment, it seemed like a good moment to round up the topics I have covered. The most recent three are available online, and links are included below
