Classic Album Sundays: An Evening With Gilles Peterson

Since the 1980s, Gilles Peterson has been a pivotal figure in the club and festival scene, renowned for his genre-defying approach to music with jazz at its core. His work has shaped trends, influenced DJs and artists around the world and earned him the enduring admiration and gratitude of listeners.

Gilles selects on vinyl some of the music that has meant the most to him and talks to fellow DJ and radio host and Classic Album Sundays founder Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy about his 40 plus years as a radio presenter, club DJ, producer and festival curator.

Gilles hosts a flagship weekend programme on BBC Radio 6 Music and in 2016 launched his online radio platform, Worldwide FM. He is founder of the Worldwide Festival in Séte, France and We Out Here festival in the UK. As a label owner, Peterson remains dedicated to discovering and promoting new talent through Brownswood Recordings, bringing fresh voices to the global stage.
