Jazz At Lincoln Center Launches JazzStories Podcast

First episodes feature Billy Higgins and Barry Harris, Randy Weston, Sam Rivers, Hank Jones and more to be announced

Who/What:

On November 29, Jazz at Lincoln Center (JALC) launches Jazz Stories*, the new podcast of Jazz at Lincoln Center Radio. The Jazz Stories podcast – produced with JALC’s long-time collaborator Murray Street Productions – features jazz luminaries, in their own words, sharing stories of their lives and music. Wendell Pierce, host of the weekly Jazz at Lincoln Center Radio, will also introduce the podcasts. The Jazz Stories podcast can be downloaded via jalc.org/jazzstories and via iTunes keyword: Jazz Stories. New Jazz Stories podcasts will be released every second Monday beginning on November 29.

The first episode features a conversation between legendary drummer Billy Higgins and pianist Barry Harris. Recorded in 1992 at a rehearsal for the Jazz at Lincoln Center production “The Majesty of the Tap,” Higgins and Harris remember “watching tassels sway” and the bebop hoofer who “would actually roll up to the microphone wearing a pair of skates… and tell the band ‘anything by Charlie Parker!'” In another episode featuring Randy Weston, the pianist recalls the childhood piano teacher who told Weston’s father, “Mr Weston, save your money.”

The JazzStories podcast will come from new artist interviews as well as JALC’s extensive archive of interviews recorded for its national radio program and education events.
