In addition to being a high art form, jazz is a subset of show business and part of show business is “business.”
In this interview with industry insider Matt Fripp, we talk about what goes into building a touring career: agents… festivals…club bookers…clever ways to get a great-looking video on the cheap… and how to put it all together to make it happen.
If you have a jazz friend who dreams of touring especially the European festival circuit (Matt has special expertise in this area) make sure they know about this interview.

Music credit: The Jazz on the Tube podcast theme song is “Mambo Inferno” performed by The Manhattan School of Music Afro-Cuban Jazz Orchestra conducted by Bobby Sanabria from the CD ¡Que Viva Harlem!
The year: 1980 (I think)
Location: Princeton, NJ
I brought Arthur Rhames to Princeton, NY to perform with Stanley Jordan.
Stanley was 20 years old (as was I.) Arthur was 22.
Rhames on tenor. Jordan on guitar. Jimmy Allington on drums. Dan Krimm on bass. I don’t hear him on this, but Gary Monheit was on keyboards.
Jimmy had the presence of mind to drop a tape in the soundboard and I’ve been praying that someday it would turn up.
Thanks to the magic of the Internet, here it is.
More about the late, great Arthur Rhames (October 25, 1957 – December 27, 1989) who was a triple threat on reeds, guitar and piano.
The black and white photos of young Arthur and Stanley were taken at the concert by Beth Cummins who introduced me to Arthur.
