Interview with Alina Bloomgarden
Download the mp3 here
Alina is the person who brought jazz to Lincoln Center, helping forever transform the way jazz is presented globally.
Her latest project Music on the Inside brings jazz , music education, and mentorship to incarcerated people and people re-entering society after being imprisoned.
Music on the Inside hosts a streaming concert every Sunday at 6 PM eastern.
You can support this organization directly as well as the musicians who contribute their time – and we strongly recommend you do so.
Tech note: Thanks to all the darn conferencing apps we’ve added to the computer in recent months and the way that some of them (i.e. Zoom) hijack and scramble settings on our computer, the normal headphone setting we had on was, unbeknownst to us, switched off even though it indicated it was on. Thus our end of the conversation was recorded off the computer’s speakers. This is the reason for the poor audio quality of the recording and the constant air conditioner’s hum in the background.

Interview with Jacob Goldberg
Download the mp3 here
Jazz on the Tube interviews Jacob Goldberg author of “Swingin’ the Color Line.”
Music is a calling – but it’s also an occupation.
Fair pay, unrestricted job opportunities, good working conditions, the need for benefits like health care and retirement support…all these are issues for musicians too.
African-American musicians played an important role in reforming Local 802, the New York City musicians union, and their actions had widespread ramifications not only for New York-based musicians, but musicians – and workers – everywhere.
Unfortunately, the audio quality has some problems in spots, but this a very eye opening story.
You can get Jacob’s book “Swingin’ the Color Line: African-American Musicians and the Formation of Local 802” by visiting Lulu.com

Interview with Mark Stryker
Download the mp3 here
Jazz on the Tube interviews Mark Stryker, author of the book “Jazz from Detroit.”
I put an exclamation point on this one.
Why?
Because if you don’t know the Detroit jazz story, it’s going to shock you.
But don’t take it from me…
“There is no other city like Detroit: the musicians, the vibe, the people.” – Sonny Rollins
“No city has meant more to American musical culture than Detroit.” – Pat Metheny
You want names?
How about Donald Byrd, Wardell Gray, Paul Chambers, Ron Carter, Howard McGhee, Major Holley, Gerald Wilson, Alice Coltrane, Al McKibbon, Billy Mitchell, Geri Allen, Lucky Thompson, and Kenny Burrell.
And that’s the short list from just one Detroit high school.
