Talking Jazz, is the place I get cozy with exceptional musicians, recording artists and composers to hear their stories, the inspiration that fuels their work, the decisions that shaped their careers, the relationships that influenced their music and how they became who they are today. I’ve always loved talking and hanging out with musicians. Spending down time with these disciplined loners is a privilege that results in the most fascinating and bazaar conversation. It takes a special type of person to lock yourself away and blow air through a piece of metal tubing or smash a drum kit or stretch your fingers into contorted shapes on a fretboard for hours on end. Who are these strange creatures and how did they get so damn good?
