And Now, Our Jazz Moments


Text by Rebecca Gross / Audio production by Adam Kampe 
Every year, our audio producers spend hours interviewing the latest class of NEA Jazz Masters—this year they are Lou Donaldson, Lorraine Gordon, Eddie Palmieri, and Mose Allison. From those interviews, we collect interesting moments that work as short audio pieces about the musicians' lives and music. These Jazz Moments, as we call them, are hosted by jazz journalist, producer, and musicologist Mark Ruffin.
