Jazz is rooted in group vocal music. How do we know? Because Louis Armstrong said so.
In this conversation with author Stacy Horn we talk about the impact group singing has on the soul and she recounts the many community choir initiatives that used to be common in the 19th century.
We need to bring community singing back – especially for children. It doesn’t have to be fancy. It just has to be.

It’s a splendid thing when a master musician takes the time to write a book about his life in the music and his views on the direction the music is taking.
We talk with composer/bandleader/bassist Chuck Israels who has shared bandstands with Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Coleman Hawkins and was an integral part of Bill Evans’ creations.

A lot of hanky-panky. In fact, a lot more hanky-panky than most of us can imagine.
That’s where Dale Cockrell comes in.
He helps us visualize the pre-1917 sex-crazed world of “dives” and “black and tans” fueled by live music.
Spoiler alert: Some of our great-grandparents might not have been quite as tame as they’ve been made out to be.
Lots of surprises here including the unlikely birthplace of the man who taught Louis Armstrong how to read music and run a band. (Hint: Not New Orleans.)
