Do you cycle as part of your fitness routine?

I enjoy it.

Yeah, I cycle.

So there's quite a few who do, but there's quite a few who don't.

So they're having to dig in because it's getting tough.

Day three was pretty lumpy and a very emotional day as well.

But so, yeah, it's getting very real.

I mean, it is a great cause, isn't it?

I

know.

I love Seattle.

I wish it was still the most beautiful American city.

I think I live in.

So I live like, you know, like in the mountains, north of Salt Lake.

And, uh, I, uh, I think Seattle's the best American city and the grunge era was like, I mean, how do you get to, you get to be in the most beautiful place and make music.

let's do the kind of, let's do the thing that people think about that is Avril Lavigne.

Right.

Yet they make up the vast majority of the economies of the world.

And if you combine the numbers and the impact and the ability that we could give if small businesses have the same opportunities as a larger business to report on sustainability and break those barriers down, then actually, um, that allows a business to operate, uh, in a world where sustainability needs to be taken a, a lot more seriously.

It needs to be shown as innovative and, um, commercially valuable, not just a nice-to-have.

And in the UK particularly, we've got the new Procurement Act which has come out, which if you cannot show su- sustainability and the movement of sustainability and progress for, you could be excluded from government contracts, you could be excluded from larger, larger supply chains.

Um, bigger businesses are looking to regulate their supply chains and their ESG claims that they made right the way throughout, because they're responsible for their own supply chains, which means small businesses, if they can't do this, it means they might risk winning, uh, um, or reducing their work from, or opportunities to gain work.

And then the biggest thing as well is tender writing.

What does your roadmap look like, and what are the, what are the particular areas of complexity you think you can tackle in the next 12 to 18 months?

Mm.

Uh, yeah, we're on it now.

We're on now.

Today was the day off.

We did Buffalo last night.

Tomorrow's Philly, and we stopped here to do iHeart and Z- Z100 kind of up, up the way.

We did their, like, you know, acoustic lounge, the Maybelline lounge.

Mm-hmm.

(instrumental music plays)

It would be impossible to do a tribute to all of Anthony Braxton's music.

There are operas.

There are large-scale ensembles, like his Composition 84 for four orchestras.

And there are iconic intimate ensembles from the late '80s and early '90s.

But his early '70s work is great, and often overlooked.

Steve Lehman, who studied with Braxton at Wesleyan, then played with him for nearly a decade, has created a smart, riveting tribute to his mentor, The Music Of Anthony Braxton, by focusing on his early compositions, tunes that are a cornerstone of his formidable reputation.
