In this week's bumper episode we take the time out to talk with Anthony Kerr, professor of jazz vibraphone at the Royal College of Music, and a long time vibist on the world jazz scene.

We explore the importance of mental and physical well-being for musicians, the conditions for a perfect jazz gig, the Belfast, Dublin, New York and London jazz scenes, and take in a full 101 on the evolution of the vibes. It's super interesting!

Anthony's album recommendations include:

Transition by John Coltrane (1965) released on Impulse!
The Art of the Trio by Brad Mehldau (1997) released on Warner Bros
Here's to Life by Shirley Horn (1992) released on Verve
