Ben Sidran's Talking Jazz Series - $8.99 on Amazon


Recommended Posts

I was shocked when I saw this. For those of you who remember he did a series of radio interviews with jazz greats in the 1980s. The box set is still around and sells for $250. I have always wanted the set but couldn't justify the $$$. This price of $8.99 for the whole thing is ridiculous... :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: So if you're interested grab it while you can...

P.S.

Many of the interviews are quite good!!!

Also available at emusic for 12 credits. I'm listening to it for the first time and really enjoy it.

On Ben Sidran's site, he's made available all of his Talking Jazz interviews for listening online.  See: http://bensidran.com/project/talking-jazz-project

Thanks for this, I always thought he was kind of a doofus when I'd see him on ... VH1? back in the day.  But I heard the Horace Silver interview in the past and it wasn't bad.  A lot of potentially interesting recordings there to explore.

He did an interview with RVG that I taped of the air. It was informative and enjoyable, if not particularly enlightening. Then again, I'm thinking that it was understood up front that "dude, how the hell do you get your piano to sound like THAT?" was not going to be an allowable question!

A fair number of these (mostly the saxophone players) have been compiled into "episodes" of two or three interviews and added to iTunes (maybe Spotify as well).  I'm listening to the Bobby McFerrin/Ken Nordine episode, which is most excellent, as Sidran convinced Nordine to create a short Word Jazz piece during the interview.

Not sure if all the pianist and trumpeter interviews will eventually be added or not.
