Charles Stevens

Charles Stevens has been interested in music since childhood. His interest in jazz began in his teens through Stephane Grappelli and Yehudi Menuhin, who his father and clarinettist John Maddocks influenced.

The great Pete Murray introduced him to broadcasting. This came together in his later years, and in 2016, Charlie’s Jazz Picks went on air for the first time. Charles hopes that you will enjoy his rather eclectic approach to jazz.

The programme is sponsored by Cirencester’s monthly jazz concerts, The Jazz Cave.
