Chatting with pianist Elliot Galvin in our 1-year anniversary special!

Watford Jazz Junction by Chris Newstead

Episode notes

The WJJ Podcast turns 1-year old this week, and we celebrate in conversation with the hugely talented, funny and thoughtful pianist & composer Elliot Galvin.

A long-time member of 2020 Mercury nominated jazz super-group Dinosaur, leader of his own trio and player in many other groups, Elliot talks about his journey into jazz, his relationship with the piano and his approach to composition.

It might also be the first (& last!) time we manage to bring Noam Chomsky, Beyonce, David Lynch and Harold Pinter into our conversation!

Elliott's album recommendations include:

  • Gorillaz by Gorillaz (2001) released on Parlophone

  • Kind of Blue by Miles Davis (1959) released on Columbia

  • Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band (1969) released on Straight
