Chatting with Grammy winner Tim Garland about playing saxophone with Chick Corea, his career and his new recording studio

Watford Jazz Junction

In this bumper episode we chat with the legendary saxophonist & composer Tim Garland.

Grammy-winning and feted for his huge musical range, Tim has been a significant figure in world-wide jazz for many years.

We talk about his albums, his 2 decades of working with the late great Chick Corea, what it was like starting off his career playing alongside Ronnie Scott, and what his junctions have been in developing his own sounds and approach to jazz and music.

It's a rich and fascinating insight into the highs, and sometimes lows, of being a professional musician on the global scene.

Tim's album recommendations include:

• Native Sense - The New Duets by Chick Corea and Gary Burton (1997) on Concord

• From the Soul by Joe Lovano (1992) on Blue Note

• Coltrane's Sound by John Coltrane (1964) on Atlantic
