Normally, people who wear sunglasses indoors are either Bono or just plain wrong (and you really don’t want to be any of these things) but for one week only composer, lyrist and handsome patron of The Two Rivers Café Dr. Andrew Fisher is giving you permission.

Why? Is he mad?

No, he’s jazz.

This week we’re delighted to welcome pianist, composer and all-round jazz supremo J Fashole-Luke to the Two Rivers Café and sunglasses are obligatory.

J has performed all over Europe at Festivals (including Montreaux, Vienne, North Sea and Vienna Jazz Festivals and in UK at Glastonbury, Bestival, Boomtown, Shambala and Isle Of Wight Festivals), He has accompanied members of Jurassic 5, Sugar Hill Gang, Tomorrow’s Warriors and All Saints. He played at The Millenium Dome in its opening year, and has also appeared at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club and performed live on BBC2s Later With Jools Holland. Most recently he has been working with Chart topping UK vocalist Alexandra Burke and TV sensation Tallia Storm

There’s conversation and there’s music as Andrew and J collaborate a brand-spanking-new piece of work that they share towards the end of the episode.

Here are some links to all manner of J-F-L content:
