This episode features an interview with award-winning tuba player and composer, Theon Cross. We discussed his music and talked about his upcoming show at Dazzle.

Cross is a key component of London's thriving jazz scene, and his unique sound has been described as "innovative" and hailed for "reinventing the tuba." His debut EP "Aspirations" brought him international attention and garnered him a Jazz FM nomination for Best Jazz Newcomer in 2016. In 2019, he released his debut album 'Fyah' which was met with critical acclaim worldwide, charting at #1 on the UK official Jazz & Blues charts, #23 on the US Jazz Billboard, and garnered high praise from major publications such as Rolling Stone Magazine, Pitchfork, The New York Times, The Guardian and NPR leading him to tour extensively throughout Europe, North America and South America.

The tracks played on this episode were "Foward Progression II" and "The Spiral."
