The session will be moderated by Dr Tom Irvine, who convenes the module, together with University jazz tutor Dan Mar-Molinero.
Kinch’s visit to Southampton will continue on Friday 3 March at 20:00 with a concert featuring work from his new album Nonagram at Turner Sims. For more information on the concert, including how to book your ticket, please click here.
