For the first in a new series of J to Z Home Sessions, Julian Joseph presents a collaboration from pianist Kit Downes and bassist Ruth Goller, recorded in their front room. Kit Downes is one of the UK's most highly regarded young pianists, now recording for the prestigious label ECM, while Goller is known for her work with progressive UK groups Vula Viel and Melt Yourself Down. Together they perform two lyrical compositions and Downes also shares a remote collaboration he's been working on that features bassist Petter Eldh and Scottish fiddler Aidan O'Rourke.

Also in the programme, Danish bassist Jasper Høiby, one third of acclaimed group Phronesis, shares much loved music from his bass heroes, among them Jaco Pastorius and Avishai Cohen.
