Join composer Richard Niles as he sits down with the extraordinary artists behind the creation of his groundbreaking album, "Adventures for Cello and Piano." In this podcast, discover the compelling WHY behind its creation, and the behind-the-scenes stories of HOW this innovative album came to life. Richard Niles takes classical sophistication to new heights by blending it with contemporary audacity in his latest compositions – daring duets for cello and piano that defy traditional categorization. Is it Classical? Is it JAZZ? Dive deep into the creative process as Niles interviews the masterful virtuosos who brought his vision to our ears. In these exclusive interviews, you'll hear from renowned cellist Dennis Karmazyn, esteemed English pianist Clive Dunstall, and the exceptional rhythm section duo of fretless bassist Mark Egan (Pat Metheny) and British drum phenomenon Ian Palmer. Learn how they came together to push the boundaries of "classical" Jazz with their artistry and innovation. Grammy-winning composer Michael Gibbs describes Richard Niles' new project as "a delightful surprise – inquisitively engaging, intriguing, and masterfully played!" Jazzschool director Rob Ewing says, “The new album from composer Richard Niles demonstrates his compelling, playful rhythmic sense, combined with virtuosic yet tuneful melodies. Each performance in this rewarding set of pieces for cello and piano is rich with emotional expression, evoking a sense of exploration, wonder, and possibility. The addition of a world-class rhythm section on two of the tracks is a welcome bonus." Check out the Adventurous Interviews podcast, where creativity knows no bounds.

He went on to produce and arrange for stars such as June Christy, The Four Freshmen and Nat King Cole, and write brilliant scores for film and TV including The Fugitive, The Untouchables, and Richard Diamond. As A&R for Capitol, he signed and produced the Miles Davis project known as “The Birth of the Cool”, enabling music that created the “cool school” of jazz.
