Matt Berry reads a truly brutal letter from Robert Crumb

Swedish jazz saxophonist Mats Gustafsson once sent some of his music to legendary illustrator and famed record collector Robert Crumb; Crumb, baffled, pulled no punches and responded with the brutally honest letter you will now hear. In 2014, in honour of this critique, Gustafsson named his next album ‘Torturing the Saxophone’, and proudly reprinted this letter amongst the liner notes.

At Letters Live at the Freemason's Hall in London, Matt Berry joined us to perform a hilarious reading of this letter.
