It is a gorgeous sunny day at Hebgen! Since it started to get warmer, Bob and I have been trying to start our day early so we can take a walk before the snow gets slushy. It will be spring very soon!

FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE

Our friend and big Bozeman Jazz supporter Greg sent me his recommendation, a radio talk show on NPR “Fresh Air” had a guest Jon Batiste. Here is from Greg! “I recommend today’s (March 11th) Fresh Air interview with Jon Batiste, music director on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Jon is on his ax, and explains the way he plays, composes and arranges, and why. It is a great tutorial on the history of jazz piano and of Black music, especially from the church.” You can listen to the show Fresh Air on NPR’s website. Here is the link to the interview with Jon Batiste “Jon Batiste On Sharing Joy In A Painful Year: ‘I Want To Reaffirm People’s Humanity'”. Thank you, Greg!!
