Kirsty Lang with writer Francisco Goldman and musician Wynton Marsalis

Available for over a year

With Kirsty Lang. The month before their second wedding anniversary, Aura, the young wife of writer Francisco Goldman, died from injuries sustained in a swimming accident. Francisco blamed himself and wanted to die as well. Instead, he wrote a book, Say Her Name - and he explains how he felt as he was writing it. Trumpeter Wynton Marsalis was the first and only person to win a Grammy for both Classical and Jazz music in the same year - and he did it twice. As well as being a renowned jazz musician, teacher and arranger, brought up in the New Orleans tradition, he is also a Pulitzer Prize winning composer. With a residency at Ronnie Scott's famous jazz club in London and a new album out with Eric Clapton, Wynton discusses why it's important to encourage young musicians, and reveals how Eric Clapton's song Layla became a New Orleans dirge. The film Cowboys And Aliens tells the story of a group of 19th century settlers, led by Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig, who put aside their differences with some Native Americans in order to join forces in repelling an alien invasion. Kirsty and novelist Naomi Alderman review it, and discuss the strong similarity it has to the plot of a recent British film, Attack The Block Producer Rebecca Nicholson.
