Jamie chats to the British born violinist Nigel Kennedy, whose work has expanded from the classical repertoire of his early career to encompass jazz, klezmer and other genres.
The two chat about Kennedy's growing interest in jazz, where this began and how his classical roots impact his approach to this more free-form style. The interview is underpinned by short musical examples from Nigel Kennedy on his violin.
