Episode 8 of Inspiration/Information finds Host IMRAN MIRZA in conversation with London-based guitarist, composer, producer and band leader GREG SANDERS.  Having helmed two full-length releases from his new quartet, Lophae (“lo-fi”), as well as having produced Holly Holden’s ‘al andar’ album, 2025 proved to be an exceptionally busy and successful year for Greg.  Having established his phenomenal credentials via expansive jazz ensemble Teotima and their two scintillating full-lengths (‘Counting the Ways’ and ‘Weightless’), Sanders has continued to amass acclaim as a key collaborator for vocalist Juanita Euka, Jonny Wickham and Billy Marrows, amongst a litany of other artists.  His penchant for Latin-infused contemporary jazz has yielded some sensational projects which now trickles down to the incredible Lophae albums in ‘Perfect Strangers’ and ‘Imagine More’.

In line with our typical three-question Inspiration/Information format, we have some excellent discussion points for this episode as we delve into Greg’s first concert experience, discuss the song he wishes he had written and fully unpack which three artists would comprise his dream band.
