Jazz on the Tube just released its first book with plans for many more.
Thanks to all our supporters who made this book and future book projects possible.
We started the series with a focus on New Orleans for three reasons:
1. Historically, it is one of the KEY birthplaces of American music – jazz, blues, R&B, funk, and more
2. Its music tradition is very deep and very much alive to a degree that even many jazz musicians don’t fully appreciate
3. Musicians were the heroes who led the heroic effort to rebuild the city after its catastrophic flood in 2005. The greatest story never told – until now.
Please get it, please review it on Amazon, and please spread the word.
Thanks!

Brandon McCune and his kids sing the theme and solo from the Coltrane recording.
I could write a book about this.
Nearly sixty years after Coltrane recorded this, ‘Trane lives, Bird lives, the music lives…
Why?
Because of teachers and fathers like Brandon McCune. That in a nutshell is why the music lives.
Do our children have the capacity to learn and love this music? Of course, they do. If they’re not learning it, that’s on us.
McCune’s been a sideman for Abbey Lincoln, Terence Blanchard, Nneena Freelon, Betty Carter, Miki Howard, Wynton Marsalis, Bruce Williams, Chrisette Michele, Ted Dunbar, Larry Ridley, Russell Malone, Lenora Zenzalai Helm, Mark Gross, Antonio Hart, and Orbert Davis.
You can read McCune’s bio here
The original (1964)
