A live conversation with Bill Laurance

I sat with pianist and composer Bill Laurance in his studio in South London to discuss his new album with The Untold Orchestra - Bloom. Out now on ACT Music, this is a fascinating work of this classically-trained and virtuoso member of Snarky Puppy.Bill's work combines quasi-classical composition, using the orchestra as a rhythm section in places, and his wonderful improvisation, and our conversation takes us all around Bloom, lockdown and life as a Snarky Puppy.Thank you to Bill for allowing me to share tasters of tracks from Bloom alongside our conversation.Get in touch to let me know what you think!Thank you for listening to Harmonious World.
