A Non-Threatening Conversation About Jazz

黑料吃瓜网 Radio | By Colin McEnroe,

Published May 18, 2021 at 1:00 PM EDT

Freshly Squeezed with Colin McEnroe at Watkinson School in Hartford, January 31, 2018.

Who's afraid of the Bix bad Beiderbecke?

Hartford has an amazing jazz history, and Colin has a lot of jazz musician friends. This hour, a little onstage jazz party recorded in front of a live audience long before the pandemic put a pause on live audiences as a thing.

Colin and the panel look to make jazz accessible to mere mortals. They talk about what makes jazz jazz, invite the audience to sing, and teach the audience to scat.

GUESTS:

Steve Davis - Trombone
Atla DeChamplain - Vocals
Matt DeChamplain - Piano
Henry Lugo - Bass
Jocelyn Pleasant - Drums
