Combining innovation, improvisation and collaboration, Jazz is the maverick that went mainstream. Philosopher Dr Julian Baggini explores the relationship between Jazz and philosophy and reveals what we can learn about how to live, just by listening a little closer.
In this inspiring exploration of The Dao of Jazz, you will get to grips with process, performance and spontaneity, accompanied by a live soundtrack performed by pianist Clive Dunstall and vocalist Juliet Russell; taking you on a dazzling, philosophical journey through music.
