Moses Boyd, Rag'n'Bone Man, Peggy Seeger (57x2)

This week, Jools welcomes jazz drummer, producer and broadcaster Moses Boyd to discuss his musical journey, loves and influences, illustrated by classic clips from Later... A pioneer of the ever-growing contemporary London jazz scene, Moses started playing drums aged 13. His affinity for a wide range of music, from grime and electronica to the gospel, soul and funk he heard growing up in south London, has heavily influenced his unique sound. He made his Later... debut in 2017 as part of sax and drums duo Binker and Moses, and last year he released his debut solo album Dark Matter on his own record label, which went on to be shortlisted for the 2020 Mercury Prize. The show also sees the return of the triple Brit award-winning singer Rag'n'Bone Man, with the debut performance of his new single All You Ever Wanted. It's a first taste of his second, much-anticipated album Life by Misadventure, the majority of which was recorded pre-pandemic in the musical city of Nashville. Due for release in April, the record is the follow-up to 2017's Human, the fastest-selling debut album by a male artist in over a decade. To complete the line-up, Jools welcomes legendary American folk musician Peggy Seeger to the studio. With an illustrious career spanning 68 years, Seeger will shortly release her twenty-fourth and reportedly last solo album First Farewell. The album is her first to be recorded entirely with the immediate members of her very musical family, and it references her roots as a classically trained pianist. Seeger performs All in the Mind, a song co-written with her son Callum MacColl about ageing and its complexities. Kicking off the series, Jools welcomes one of this year's most hotly tipped artists, singer-songwriter Arlo Parks. She performs a track from her critically acclaimed album Collapsed in Sunbeams, a beautiful collection of songs touching on themes of mental health and sexuality. She also discusses her musical journey, loves and influences, as illustrat
