Jazz Imposters: Recent Episodes
Jazz Imposters
In each episode of this podcast we will attempt to tackle one classic jazz standard, discussing the history, theory, and overall appreciation of the song; and by the end of each episode we will, for better or worse, perform our own take. We’ll be talking about our experiences as musicians, the triumphs and challenges we have overcome or continue to face in the world of music. We hope to bring you interviews with experts and feature performances by distinguished guests. We’ll also tap into our own local scene to keep you plugged into what’s going on and music to watch out for.
