Jazz Oral History Project


Recommended Posts

Technically, this is not about "jazz in print" but I think this post belongs here rather than in the "Miscellaneous Music" section.

Beginning with an article in today's NY TImes about various photographs now being made available by the New York Public Library online, I went to the site, did some "wandering" and came upon a site that should be of interest to many of us here. It's the Louis Armstrong Jazz Oral History Project in which you can view various video clips of key jazz artists being interviewed or talking about aspects of the music. Some of the artists shown include: Nat Adderley, Art Farmer, Jimmy Heath, Chico Hamilton, Yusef Lateef, Abbey Lincoln, Art Taylor, Clark Terry, Charles Tolliver, McCoy Tyner, Randy Weston and more. Shame the clips aren't longer but what there is is "cherce":
