Welcome to the latest episode of Harmonious World, in which I interview musicians about how their music helps make the world more harmonious.
It was a delight to chat with vocalist, violinist and composer Alice Zawadski. She was awarded Jazz Vocalist of the Year at the 2025 Jazz FM awards and I saw her perform at Watford Jazz Junction in May and at the Barbican in June. As we spoke recently, she's preparing for her appearance at the K-Music Festival 2025 with Korean ensemble Hilgeum. As well as discussing aspects of her music in general, we also spoke about the time she spent in South Korea as part of this latest collaboration.

Thanks to Alice for allowing me to use clips from her latest album - Za Gorami - alongside our conversation. That album features Fred Thomas on piano and Misha Mullov-Abbado on bass, who I interviewed back in August. We also touched on Alice's work with bassist Daniel Casimir, who I interviewed while at Love Supreme in July.

Get in touch to let me know what you think!

Don't forget the Quincy Jones quote that sums up why I do this: "Imagine what a harmonious world it would be if every single person, both young and old, shared a little of what he is good at doing."
