For our first episode in the “Meet the Tutors” series Nigel is talking with jazz educator Joel Purnell. You might know Joel from his “Triad Pairs” video on Youtube. Our Sax School Members know him as the brains behind our Explore Jazz series of courses. But, he didn’t set out to be a jazz sax player, let alone one of the top jazz educators in the UK! Check out the full story in today’s episode.
