The London Jazz Festival starts today and In Tune kicks off in appropriate style with live music from acclaimed singer Christine Tobin and composer, film director and jazz trumpeter Mike Figgis.
After 6pm conductor Joseph Swensen pops into the studio ahead of his concert tomorrow night with the London Mozart Players at Croydon's Fairfield Halls.
Conductor Vernon Handley, who celebrates his 75th birthday today joins us from the BBC's Cardiff studios to talk about his love of British repertoire and forthcoming recordings including Bax Tone Poems and York Bowen concertos.
