In these exclusive interviews, you'll hear from renowned cellist Dennis Karmazyn, esteemed English pianist Clive Dunstall, and the exceptional rhythm section duo of fretless bassist Mark Egan (Pat Metheny) and British drum phenomenon Ian Palmer. Learn how they came together to push the boundaries of "classical" Jazz with their artistry and innovation. Grammy-winning composer Michael Gibbs describes Richard Niles' new project as "a delightful surprise – inquisitively engaging, intriguing, and masterfully played!"

| RUPERT HOLMES talks about Streisand, NYC, Edwin Drood and Piña Colada | 15 Aug 2022 | 00:46:47 | |
I am SO happy to be bringing you this interview with RUPERT HOLMES Composer for Films & TV, singer/songwriter of many albums including the hits HIM and ESCAPE, the Piña Colada Song, Producer and Composer for Barbara Streisand, The Strawbs, John Miles, award winning author of books, plays and musicals. The interview was done for a BBC Radio 2 series called MANHATTAN, The most Musical Island on Earth in 2003. When his first album Widescreen came out in 1974, I was going to the Berklee College of Music and I loved it so much I wrote him a fan letter , saying I’d love to meet him – He answered in a very witty typed and signed letter which I still have and treasure. It said that I should go to a small café in Paris on the Rue Saint-Sulpice where it is said that if you sit there long enough, everyone in the world will pass by – and that when I see him, I should say hello. So, if you want to spend the next 45 minutes in the company of a very clever man and hear the story of his amazing career, hear him chat about Paul Simon, Barry Manilow, Melissa Manchester, studio work, Barbara Streisand, Broadway, and a very big Piña Colada!

| GARY BURTON – Rare Interview and Free Improvisation Masterclass! | 31 Jul 2022 | 00:35:14 | |
Gary Burton, the multiple-Grammy-winning jazz vibraphonist has been an influential force on the vibraphone — the Burton grip, the technique he invented to play pianistically with 4-mallets, bears his name. He is also an important figure in jazz education, through a 33-year affiliation with the Berklee College of Music in Boston. As a bandleader he made what is arguably the first jazz fusion album, in the 1960s, and has since mentored many artists including the guitarists Pat Metheny and Julian Lage. He also mentored composers such as Michael Gibbs, Steve Swallow, and Carla Bley, recording their music on his many successful albums. His long collaborative history with the pianist Chick Corea resulted in 6 Grammys and are regarded as one of the highest examples of the jazz duet. In 2016 Gary Burton was recognized as a National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master, the highest honor reserved for a jazz musician. But for me, I will always be grateful to have had him as a teacher when I was a student at the Berklee College of Music from 1971 to 1975. As you are about to hear, Gary explains things extremely clearly, so that information that is new and sophisticated seems logical and inevitable. He was also very encouraging to me as a composer, and we spent many happy sessions looking at my tunes and discussing the possibilities. In 2004 I wrote and hosted a radio series for the BBC, “Inside Improvisation”. Enjoy my interview with the great, Gary Burton. GARY BURTON – Rare Interview and Free Improvisation Masterclass!

Trumpet ace Wayne Jackson is an icon of American Soul. From Stax to Atlantic to Hi Records, with his friend Andrew Love, Charlie Chalmers and Bowlegs Miller, the Memphis Horns played on over 300 hits for Wilson Pickett’, Sam & Dave, Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, Isaac Hayes, Al Green, Elvis Presley, Neil Diamond, James Taylor, Steve Winwood, U2, Peter Gabriel, Rod Stewart, the Doobie Brothers, Stephen Stills. B.B. King, Mark Knopfler, Buddy Guy and Alicia Keys. In 2003 I interviewed Wayne over the telephone for my BBC Radio 2 series “Richard Niles’ History of Pop Arranging”. One of the greatest pleasures of my many years as an interviewer is the rapport that develops over a 30-minute interview. You will certainly see that here as Wayne and I share some jokes and stories. He was so much more than an icon – he was the kind of guy you could enjoy sitting next to in the studio for a lifetime. – Richard Niles WAYNE JACKSON Memphis HORNS Rare Interview: Aretha, Otis, U2 and more!

| Time Out with DAVE BRUBECK – Rare 2003 INTERVIEW with Take Five Legend | 16 Jun 2022 | 00:31:32 | |
Dave Brubeck, designated a “Living Legend” by the Library of Congress, was one of the most active and popular musicians in both the jazz and classical worlds. With a career that spanned over six decades, his experiments in odd time signatures, improvised counterpoint, polyrhythm and polytonality remain hallmarks of innovation. When I heard Brubeck would be in London for a series of concerts, I immediately booked an interview for the BBC as part of my series, “The New Jazz Standards”. He talks about his early, experimental Octet, studies with Darius Milhaud, his musical influences, how “cool” jazz isn’t cool at all, and how his admirers included Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Duke Ellington and Stan Kenton. He also tells some very amusing stories about his dear friend and brilliant musical partner, Paul Desmond. This was so much fun, and I’m so happy to bring you this rare interview with a very nice musical giant who always did everything in his own sweet way -Dave Brubeck Time Out with DAVE BRUBECK – Rare 2003 INTERVIEW with Take Five Legend Watch this episode in video HERE #DaveBrubeck #RichardNiles #DAVEBRUBECKRare2003INTERVIEW #RadioRichard #DaveBrubeck #DaveBrubeckQuartet #PaulDesmond #EugeneWright #JoeMorello #TakeFive #DaveBrubeckOctet #DariusMihaud #DukeEllington #StanKenton #JohnColtrane #LouisArmstrong #MilesDavis #Jazz #CoolJazz #JazzComposition #ClassicalMusic #London Please Like, Share, and Subscribe to our YouTube channel HERE Buy Richard's acclaimed books HERE Buy Richard's astounding music HERE Check our channel's official online shop for great & exclusive memorabilia HERE Send me enough for a cup of coffee at The Ritz to keep our Radio Richard growing: “Radio Richard Theme” ©2022Niles Smiles Music (BMI) by Richard Niles “New Jazz Standards” ©2022Niles Smiles Music (BMI) by Richard Niles FAIR USE DECLARATION “Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

| SARAH VAUGHAN & BILLY ECKSTINE – with Bop, Bird & Diz!!! | 18 Apr 2022 | 00:26:47 | |
I wrote and hosted a series called “Upfront” for BBC Radio 2 in 2002. At the end of the 1940s, the musical world was changing. Bebop was growing and the big bands only had a few years to live. But the rich baritone of Billy Eckstine met the divine alto of Sarah Vaughan and stars were born! Here is the story of how Vaughan got her start at 19 from Eckstine, told by Sarah Vaughan herself, critic Stephanie Stein Crease, writer Will Friedwald and Vaughn’s biographer Leslie Gourse.

| MEL TORMÉ & ARTIE SHAW – A Meeting of Minds! | 14 Apr 2022 | 00:26:49 | |
In 2002, I wrote and hosted a series of documentaries called “Upfront” – about singers who made their names upfront with the big-bands. Here, I present the hippest of all singers Mel Tormé making his name with the most intellectual of bandleaders, Artie Shaw. Uber-talented Tormé was an actor, author, pianist, guitarist, arranger, songwriter (“The Christmas Song”), and drummer! He was singing with his vocal group, The Mel-Tones, when Shaw, the most successful bandleader in America wanted to expand his sound. This is the story of what can happen when two supreme talents collaborate - both a meeting of minds and a butting of heads! The music was as sublime as their infamous arguments! The show features interviews with, Mel Tormé himself, Ginny Mancini (of the Mel-Tones), and writer Will Friedwald. MEL TORMÉ & ARTIE SHAW – A Meeting of Minds!

| Radio Richard Episode 100! The Story of HERB ALPERT & The Tijuana Brass | 09 Apr 2022 | 00:24:58 | |
In 2001 I wrote and presented two series of “The Arrangers” for BBC Radio 2, examining the creators of iconic sounds in jazz & pop. The fascinating story of HERB ALPERT & the Tijuana Brass is told in interviews with Alpert and his musicians, John Pisano, Bob Edmondson, and Pat Senatore. The music is sometimes dismissed, but the band had fifteen #1 albums, many hit singles and became the 4th biggest selling act of their time – a time that included The BEATLES!

| ESQUIVEL! The King of SPACE AGE LOUNGE MUSIC! | 29 Mar 2022 | 00:27:04 | |
In 2001, I wrote and presented a documentary series for BBC Radio 2, “The Arrangers” produced by @elizabethclark. It featured Robert Farnon, Neal Hefti, Herb Alpert, Stan Kenton, Quincy Jones, Pete Rugolo and Mexican arranger/composer JUAN GARCIA ESQUIVEL. His daring, explosive, utterly original arrangements fueled by jazz, pop, film and loaded with instrumental effects, led to a new style in the 1960s: SPACE AGE POP or SPACE AGE BATCHELOR PAD. Here is his story told by experts, critics, and by Esquivel himself! ESQUIVEL!

| BOBBY ELI – THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (International!) | 27 Mar 2022 | 00:46:43 | |
PIR (Philadelphia International Records) took over from Motown as the preeminent black music label of the Seventies. I interviewed producer, songwriter, guitarist, and arranger BOBBY ELI for the BBC and for my book, “The Invisible Artist” in 2008. Bobby was a member of Mother Father Sister Brother playing guitar on many of the most successful PIR hits of the 1970s, working with their biggest artists and most significant arrangers. As a founder member of the PIR team, Bobby was able to give us an articulate and detailed understanding of the genesis and history of the Philadelphia Sound - Producers and Arrangers THOM BELL, GAMBLE & HUFF, BOBBY MARTIN, MFSB, TSOP, The O’JAYS, The DELPHONICS, LTD, and more! Here, for the first time, is our complete interview. #bobbyeli #richardniles #radiorichard #pir #philadelphiainternationalrecords #motown #theinvisibleartist #motherfathersister #philadelphiasound #thombell #gamble&huff #bobbymartin #mfsb BOBBY ELI – THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (International!)

| BOB MALONE talks sings & plays: Bob Seger John Fogerty Ringo & More! | 26 Mar 2022 | 00:26:25 | |
BOB MALONE is the kind of party your neighbors come upstairs to tell to turn down, and then enjoy the music so much they stay all night dancing, getting high and plooking your Auntie! Malone, armed only with a pillaged and deflowered piano, has thrown that party for Ringo Starr, John Fogerty, Bruce Springsteen, and Bob Seger. The singer/songwriter brings that same bacchanalian revelry to all of his solo albums. Here, egged on by Richard Niles, Malone demolishes his piano, shreds his songs, propositions his wife (Karen Nash, who needed little encouragement) and created Looziana licentiousness. We suggest you watch this video barefoot with a bottle of almond oil and a friend who can cut a rug!
