Classical, blues and jazz for the weekend
For International Women's Day, Jools is joined by Grammy-nominated Scottish musician KT Tunstall who shares music she loves by Laurie Anderson and the Bulgarian women's choir.
For International Women's Day, Jools shares music by some of his favourite composers and artists, including Helene de Montgeroult, Bessie Smith and Dobrinka Tabakova. He’s joined in the studio by Grammy-nominated Scottish musician, KT Tunstall.
Starting out on flute and piano as a child, KT then discovered the guitar and as a singer-songwriter she’s gone on to sell millions of albums worldwide. She talks to Jools about writing for film, the classical music she loves including Debussy and Laurie Anderson, and her new musical adaption of the nineties cult classic comedy film, Clueless.
