Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on May 11, 1966)

Happy Birthday, Julian Joseph! May your day swing smoother than a jazz syllabus and be as timelessly cool as your legendary broadcasts. You've educated countless ears, composed unforgettable melodies, and made traditional jazz feel contemporary—quite the musical magician!

From crafting syllabi for the Royal Schools of Music to inspiring generations through radio waves and classrooms alike—you've hit all the right notes. Here's hoping this year brings you more standing ovations (and fewer off-key birthday serenades). Keep improvising greatness; after all these years in music education, you've certainly earned an encore or two.

Cheers to another harmonious trip around the sun!
