Many musicians are entertaining us for FREE on Facebook Live! We’ve been entertained by Dave Koz, Brian Culbertson, Keiko Matsui, Kiki Ebsen, just to get started. This pandemic has not stopped the music. Musicians have just found another way to entertain their fans. As a result, there are new and innovative ways to interact, while still social distancing. Wondering how they are going to get through this crisis, not being able to congregate, tour, or perform in venues . . . Schmooze Jazz’s Kaylene Peoples and Sheryl Aronson have a conversation about the direction of music. Aronson had the novel idea to interview musicians Keiko Matsui, Gerald Albright, Carol Sapp, Marcus Anderson, DW3, composer Greg O’Conner, Melissa Manchester, Nick Corlionne, Gail Jhonson, Darryl Walker, Adam Holly, Darryl Williams, Larry Dunn, Luisa Dunn, Bobby Lyle, and Bunny Brunel.
The music on this episode is “Time Traveler” from Kaylene Peoples MY MAN. “Time Traveler” features Kaylene Peoples on flute, and was composed and performed by pianist Bobby Lyle. Personnel is Brandino on bass and Oscar Seaton on drums.
In the days to come, we will have the interviews mentioned in this podcast available right here on schmoozejazz.com! Remember to social distance and . . . “Don’t Stop the Music!”
