Jazz Shapers

Jazz Shapers in association with Mishcon de Reya broadcasts every Saturday at 9am, with a repeat on Monday at 5am, just before the Business Breakfast.

Presented by broadcaster and Mishcon de Reya’s Partner and Chief Brand Officer Elliot Moss, Jazz Shapers shares music from the risk takers, leaders and influencers of jazz, soul and blues, alongside interviews with their equivalent in the business world: entrepreneurs who have defined and shaped business categories and ways of operating, defying convention and have gone on to achieve great success.

Mishcon de Reya is an independent law firm, which now employs more than 1,300 people with more than 630 lawyers offering a wide range of legal services to companies and individuals. With a presence in London, Cambridge, Oxford, Singapore and an association with Karas So LLP in Hong Kong, the firm services an international community of clients and provides advice in situations where the constraints of geography often do not apply. The work the firm undertakes is cross-border, multi-jurisdictional and complex, spanning six core practice areas: Corporate; Dispute Resolution; Employment; Innovation; Private; and Real Estate.

The Mishcon de Reya Group comprises businesses including MDR Brand Management, MDR Cyber, MDR Discover, MDR Mayfair (in London, Singapore and Dubai), MDRx, MDR Solutions I, MDR Lab and MDR ONE. Complementary to Mishcon de Reya's core areas of work, each is led by best-in-class professionals recruited from a variety of non-legal industries and sectors.

As well as our weekly studio interviews, we have held three Jazz Shapers Live events bringing the worlds of business and jazz music together in front of a live audience - in 2016 with designer Kelly Hoppen and GRAMMY® winner Bill Laurance, then in 2018 with world renowned artist Nicole Farhi CBE and soul singer Judi Jackson and most recently in 2019 with hotelier Sir Rocco Forte and a performance from London's First Lady of Soul, P.P. Arnold. View highlights films from the events below.
