One of the great record producers, Jerry Wexler of Atlantic Records, recalls growing up as a jazz kid in New York City when jazz was rocking and what it was like to run an indie label during the golden age of LPs.

Jazz fans who know even the smallest amount of jazz history know the important role church music played in the music’s development.
Everyone from Louis Armstrong to Ornette Coleman has acknowledged the DEEP impact the music of the church had on their art.
Less known is the huge contemporary role gospel plays not only in training young musicians, many of whom become jazz players but also in being an engine of innovation for the music itself.

International MPB Festival
New York, New York.
Typically held in September.
Life is full of ironies.
A week or so after I posted my video that said essentially that blues, country and western, jazz, gospel, and rock and roll are all from the same tree…
I discovered Gene Santoro and his book “Highway 61 Revisited: The Tangled Roots of American Jazz, Blues, Rock, and Country Music.”
It turns out he and I went to the same high school, though he graduated eight years earlier than me.
He kept a place in the city, but he also had a place in the country just a half hour from me (and ten minutes from folks like Pat Metheny, Jack DeJohnette, Sonny Rollins, and Al Foster.)
And he died last year.
This is why I work so hard to do serious interviews of everyone I can. (If you don’t know our interview, go to the home page and click “podcasts.”)
Anyway, one person, the photographer and music maven John Peden of SideTrackLinerNotes.com, did a superb interview of him and has been kind enough to let us share it with you.
