PETER JARRETTE

BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE

This week on JazzBites my guest is a one-man powerhouse of personality and creativity, an internationally-published author of both fiction and non-fiction, a professional artist and illustrator, world traveller, media presenter, writer of four children's books, and a magazine columnist.

We'll be talking about the connections between the former Emperor of Ethiopia Haile Selassie and a burning apartment in Rome, Monty Python, the tribute to Boney M and dancing on stage in front of an unsuspecting crowd in Russia, the forthcoming adaptation of one of his stories for television, what it's like to be young and pretty in New York City, the closed and elitist world of professional Boxing, and his growing interest in reality TV.
