The Charley Patton Revenant box has a disc of interviews - not with Patton, of course. But the interviews with Patton's associates and with H.C. Speir, who discovered Patton as far as as the record industry goes, are pretty interesting.

The Charly/Chess Complete 1951-1969 Howlin' Wolf box has 10 minutes of interview material.

Milt Hinton's two-disc Old Man Time has almost as much interview as music - about an hour. I love the 13-minute segment of Cab Calloway alumni reminiscing; Doc Cheatham, 50 years after the event, tells Cab for the first time about the night Cab accidentally paid Doc his week's salary twice. To his credit, Cab laughs uproariously when he hears the story.

I think Jelly Roll Morton Library of Congress recordings might have some interview material. (Insert wry emoticon here.)

The Max Roach & Cecil Taylor Historic Concerts album has some interview material at the end of disc two, about 16 minutes in total but it's interspersed with music. This album is also a available as part of the Cecil Taylor Black Saint/Soul Note box so technically it's in a box set!
