While doing research for my book “Death, Resurrection, and Spirit in New Orleans,” I needed more information about Mother Catherine Seals of New Orleans.
Seals was a healer, a community leader, and had a profound, if largely underappreciated, contribution to New Orleans and American music. (By the way, the correct pronunciation of her name is “Seals,” not “Sales” as I repeatedly got wrong in our conversation.)
In my search, I came across the extraordinary audio documentaries of artist-musician Matt Marble, which led me to this interview.
I’m sure that after listening to this interview, you’ll want to hear Matt’s work directly. Here’s a representative sampling with an emphasis on his jazz work.

When you visit, make sure you contribute to Matt’s jar. This is an extraordinary body of work that deserves all our support—especially if we want to see more of it being produced, which I do!

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.
