The Interviews with Notable New Orleans musicians is back as previously mentioned.

All 4 episodes of an interview with Beth Patterson are now up.

She is hard to summarize since her talents are wide ranging and include writing and having published novels and poetry. There is a great deal of knowledge and thought on a lot of things. As well as this she is a killer performer in many languages and styles, as well as the performance of her prolific output of songs of her own.

Anyway, it’s all very interesting and she has a lot of thinking, ideas, and experiences that go into and come out in her art. Check out her ideas in this 4 part podcast.

The interview

Complete interview with Jeff Albert, Trombonist and curator of the Open Ears Series.

Jeff Albert is more than just a trombonist.  In starting the Open Ears music series he provided a new local forum for improvisational music, as well as for other forms of music that do not have any easy time getting on the stages of New Orleans venues.  Many groups and associations of musicians have found each other, temporarily or over the long term, from playing in the series and this has changed the face of the creative music scene in New Orleans. 

How did he do it?  What has he done?  Why has he dunnit? What might he do? Listen to him remove some veils.
