  1. I saw that your site is into posting jazz happenings and thought I would share some jazz news with you. I am currently working with Ben Sidran. Heard of him? He’s a world-renowned jazz musician out of the Madison, WI (USA)area and a former National Public Radio talk-show host. He’s recently put together a set of CDs called “Talking Jazz” which contains 60 interviews with fellow jazz musicians like Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Bobby McFerrin, Jon Hendricks and Betty Carter (plus so many more). The CDs deliver candid interviews and truly inspiring words from the artists. You can hear clips and check out the box set at http://www.talkingjazz.com. Give a listen. I really think you’ll like what you hear- it’s worth the click. Enjoy!
