Fergus McCreadie in session

Live music from Scottish ‘Wunderkind’ pianist and composer Fergus McCreadie, plus Canadian pianist, composer and arranger Renee Rosnes shares tracks that have influenced her.

Julian Joseph presents a live music session from one of Scotland’s ‘ones to watch’, pianist Fergus McCreadie. McCreadie hit the ground running with his self-released debut album Turas in 2018, which won Album of the Year at the Parliamentary and Scottish Jazz Awards and was shortlisted for the cross-genre Scottish Album of the Year Award 2019. His music is celebrated for its innovation, blending Scottish folk tradition with jazz. Here he performs music from his spellbinding second album ‘Cairn’, newly released with Edition.

Also in the programme, lyrical and creative Canadian pianist Renee Rosnes shares music that has influenced her. Over her long and star-studded career, Rosnes has worked with jazz giants such as Joe Henderson, Wayne Shorter, Chris Potter and bass master, Ron Carter. She continues to be a tour de force in the jazz world, including as a journalist and radio host.

Produced by Dominic Tyerman for Somethin’ Else.
