Cerys’ Matthews' guest is the American composer, conductor, multi-instrumentalist, and author David Amram. He has worked with the likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Willie Nelson and Jack Kerouac. In the early 1950s, he was encouraged to pursue his unique path by his mentors and giants of jazz Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk and Miles Davis. Now in his mid-eighties, he continues to compose music while traveling the world as a conductor, soloist, bandleader, visiting scholar, and narrator in five languages.
