The Buzz: The JJA Podcast

The Art of the Interview, with Ted Panken, Robin Lloyd and host Rick Mitchell,

The Jazz Journalists Association

How does an interviewer approach their task? Ted Panken, author and journalist with extensive experience from his decades at WKCR (NYC) and Robin Lloyd,  radio host doing interviews more recently on KNKX (Seattle), share tips and stories of their encounters with musicians -- those eager to talk, and those who were reluctant. Host Rick Mitchell, too, adds insights gleaned from years of print and broadcast jazz jouralism. 

April is Jazz Appreciation Month the JJA Is honoring Jazz Heroes, the "activists, advocates, altruists, aiders and abettors of jazz," in 27 localities across America, including US cities, the San Diego-Tijuana Borderland, and Guelph Canada. More information on Jazz Heroes -- and the 30 annual JJA Jazz Awards -- at our website JJAJazzAwards.org
