Katie Derham is joined by the bassist and composer Gary Crosby, and the director and choreographer Suzy Willson, to talk about their forthcoming show at London Jazz Festival. 'The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady' celebrates the 1963 album of the same name by Charles Mingus. Widely considered one of the greatest jazz albums of all time, it was written and recorded with the intention of a dance accompaniment. There's also live music from Polish-American soprano Magdalena Kuźma with pianist James Baillieu.
