Jerry Dammers / Loose Ends BBC Radio 4

The much too young Nikki Bedi will be talking to her very special guest Jerry Dammers about founding 2 Tone Records and ska revival band 'The Specials'. His latest musical venture 'Jerry Dammers Spatial AKA Orchestra' is a mash-up of Sun Ra, Massive Attack, Specials and reggae, all filtered through Dammer's unique musical vision. They're performing at The Barbican as part of London's Jazz Festival on Friday 18th November.

Songwriter/keyboardist Jerry Dammers founded and designed the logo for 2 Tone Records and formed The Specials, writing Ghost Town and many of their other hits. Dammers has been a working DJ for more than 15 years and formed the Spatial AKA Orchestra in 2008.

He chats to Cerys Matthews ahead of his show, Cosmic Engineering: A Tribute To Sun Ra And Other Mystic Mavericks. Featuring some of the UK's finest jazz musicians and his 18-piece orchestra he pays tribute to the cosmic jazz of Sun Ra and Alice Coltrane by mingling their sounds with those of dub innovator Coxsone Dodd, Exotica pioneer Martin Denny and many more.
