Ben Sidran - Talking Jazz










Photo


Artist:
Ben Sidran

Review:

Featuring in-depth interviews conducted by musician-journalist
Sidran, this twenty-four-disc behemoth originally aired on NPR.
Interviewees range from Art Blakey to Donald Fagen, and Sidran's
low-key style suggests Charlie Rose with smarter questions. Be glad
this collection exists: Talking Jazz offers the rare
chance to hear late greats like Miles Davis discuss everything both
technical (how a flatted-ninth note changed his life) and personal
(how geniuses are selfish bastards).
