Jazz musician interviews, where to find them?

Question

Know of any sources to listen/watch jazz musician interviews?

Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Answer 1

I usually go to www.npr.org.

They have a program called "Fresh Air" that does some great interviews!  You can download and listen later, listen live (if you catch the schedule), or tune into a podcast.

http://www.npr.org/music/

Also, if you are looking for an interview with a specific musician, try iTunes... search for the person's name, and then podcasts.  You can usually subscribe to these types of podcasts for free, and will sync to your iPod when you plug it in.

Hope this helped! :)

Answer 3

I hit up youtube sometimes for that, there's one with George Benson talking about chromatics somewhere. While not really all that useful to a competent musician, it's entertaining and makes you think.
