Chances are you won't have heard of Noel Langley. 
But you will have heard Noel Langley.
One of the world's leading and most talented jazz musicians, indeed one of the world's leading and most talented musicians of any genre, Noel has performed with Elton John, Radiohead, George Michael, Amy Winehouse, Dionne Warwick, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, John Legend, Lionel Richie, Lou Reed, Art Blakey, Macy Gray, Billy Cobham, Mark Ronson, Diana Krall, Massive Attack, Georgie Fame Big Band, Robbie Williams, Sade, London Symphony Orchestra, Tom Jones, Harry Connick Jnr, Hermeto Pascoal, Adele, Humphrey Lyttleton, Burt Bacharach, James Taylor Quartet, Jamie Cullem, The Brand New Heavies, Loose Tubes, The Eurythmics, The Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Orchestra, The Last Shadow Puppets, The Manic Street Preachers, Tony Bennet, The Monkees, The Pet Shop Boys, BBC Concert Orchestra and Stevie FUCKING Wonder...
To name just a few.
Desperately understated, shy even, Noel Langley is a mystic, a master in his own field and what you are about to listen to is nothing short of 1 hour and 42 minutes of pure, gentle, unassuming genius.
I am honoured to know Noel and have him on the show.
Prepare to have your mind blown.

This episode was originally released on paris based podcaster Fabrice Florent's Histoires De Mecs show, and he was kind enough to let me to share it here.
He describes Histoires de Mecs (formerly The Boys Club) as a podcast that "questions today's guys about what it's like to be a guy on a daily basis and questions their definition of masculinity."
And so that's where we go, with me in the hot seat for a change, looking at fathers, parenting, violence, anger, rites of passage,  all washed down of course with large doses of plant medicine.
I'm very grateful to Fabrice for having me on his show and if you're a French speaker I'd urge you to subscribe to his important podcast.
