Charlie Luxton – Miles Davis and the most famous chord in jazz

I love the unpredictable mix of music that guests bring to the show, and this episode is no exception – step forward jazz legend Miles Davis, and electronic producer Jon Hopkins! Hello and welcome to another All About The Music, where I’m joined by Charlie Luxton — architectural designer, familiar TV face, and lover of music with a tendency to push boundaries. Charlie’s playlist is as bold (yet often simple) as his buildings. We discuss the vulnerability of Thom Yorke, a candidate for the best album ever from Marvin Gaye, and the wild inventiveness of Edinburgh’s Afrobeat-laden Young Fathers. Plus there’s a conveyor belt of memories from Charlie – from listening to vinyl in old barns to travels in Southeast Asia and the many live performances that are clearly so important to him. And he is without doubt the first guest on the show to be designing a recording studio for a member of Radiohead. Now that is a recording studio I’d love to look around… Follow Charlie: https://www.charlieluxton.com/ Listen to the Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7tMykQKYD9jxNPamRtE9IM Featured artists & tracks: Radiohead, “Fake Plastic Trees”, “15 Step” Marvin Gaye, “What’s Going On”, “What’s Happening Brother” John Hopkins & King Creosote, “Bats in the Attic” John Hopkins, “We Disappear” Miles Davis, “So What”, “Will o’ the Wisp” Young Fathers, “Geronimo”, “Rice” Connect With Us  Stay in tune with All About The Music and join the conversation wherever you are:  Website: allaboutthemusicpod.com — explore episodes, guest playlists, and behind-the-scenes stories.  Instagram: @allaboutthemusic.pod — discover new episodes, reels, and the songs that shaped our guests.  Facebook: facebook.com/allaboutthemusicpod — follow for updates, clips, and listener discussions.  TikTok: @allaboutthemusicpod — enjoy bite-sized musical moments and highlights from the show.
