The Legacy series is based on an interview /performance program we first encountered at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Many of our Jazz Society members and music fans in general have a natural curiosity regarding the musicians who have entertained us through the years. We rarely have an opportunity to interact and learn about our local musicians. This series will combine an interview with musical interludes and a chance to meet the artist, and ask a question or two.
How often have you wondered what inspired a musician and who their influences might be? How did they get their start in music and what were their early experiences in the music world?
Please watch the wonderful videos captured by John Thornton for a fascinating look into how jazz is created and what makes these artists tick.
Stay tuned for more information about the next Jazz Legacy Series!
