Chris is joined by free jazz improviser and bass player, John Pope.

We chat about John's influences from Ornette Coleman to the natural world, from Rage Against the Machine to The Blues Brothers. We get the inside track on the Newcastle and northern jazz scene and play an astonishing round of our new 'Bass Deluxe Fretted Finger Bamboozling Brain Buster' quiz challenge.

John edits our ever fantastic house-band and selects his top 3 albums of all time:

Mingus at Antibes by Charles Mingus (1960) on Atlantic
O'Neal's Porch by William Parker (2001) on AUM Fidelity
The Shape of Jazz to Come by Ornette Coleman (1959) on Atlantic

There's also some chat about fabulous American author Don DeLillo. Chris recommends reading 'Silence' (2020).
