The Buzz: The JJA Podcast

The Buzz: Jazz from a Rural Place with Ann Tappan, Montana Jazz Hero and host Howard Mandel

The Jazz Journalists Association

Pianist, composer-improviser and educator Ann Tappan lives far from the madding crowd, outsize Bozeman, Montana, maintaining an active career including international forays. Having made the scene in NYC and San Francisco, she speaks with authority about the challenges and pleasures of making art and life outside the urban milieu commonly assumed for jazz.

Take a look at the Jazz Omnibus, the 600-page anthology of 21st century photos and writings by members of the Jazz Journalist Association, available online and wherever books are sold
