About This Programme
Guy Barker is truly a musician for all seasons and tastes. His collaborations read like a never-ending list of the great and good - he arranged jazz standards for Anthony Minghella's hit movie The Talented Mr Ripley; he has worked on disc and in concert with jazz legends like Gil Evans and Clark Terry, and pop icons including Frank Sinatra and Sting; he also served as music director of the BBC Jazz Awards.

Guy Barker has long had a parallel interest in classical music. Re-imagining Mozart's The Magic Flute, he transposed the opera into a New York gangster-themed jazz-dance piece that Britain's influential GQ magazine included in its recent list of 100 Best Things in the World. Featuring wonderful solos and ensemble writing with a heart-rending story, Barker and his band have produced an award-winning recording and live concert that has already had international critics tripping over their superlatives.
