Sessa in session from Maida Vale

Gilles invites Brazilian singer-songwriter Sessa and his band to Maida Vale to present his fourth album, Pequena Vertigem De Amor. Hailing from São Paulo, Sessa tells us the creative process behind his latest record, including how his experience as a dad is reflected in the music.

We also hear a new single from Bristol-based Tara Clerkin Trio, an exclusive track from Nubian Twist featuring Patrice Rushen, and words from alto saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin about her forthcoming album. Plus, Gilles shares a special chat with Chicagoan producer and multi-instrumentalist Matthew Rivera, recorded in the Windy City earlier this year.
