Why should I become a member?
I’m so glad you asked. As a jazz fan, you know how hard it can be to find in-depth interviews with the artists you love. And it’s even harder to find out about new musicians, particularly if you don’t live in a major metropolitan area. The Jazz Session is here to help. Every week, you’ll hear interviews with everyone from established jazz masters to up-and-coming young players. Documenting these musicians — and their thoughts about the creative process — is a vital part of keeping this music alive and strong.
Can I listen to the show if I don’t become a member?
The Jazz Session is free and always will be. Whether or not you join, you’ll still get the same two shows per week. That said, creating this show costs money, and having the time to create it means I need at least some of that time to be compensated. Your membership will help keep The Jazz Session going.
So what do I get?
The main thing you get is that warm fuzzy feeling that comes from supporting something you appreciate and that you believe adds value to your life. This music and the people who make it are a vital part of our global culture. The Jazz Session exists to document that culture, and I hope that alone makes it worthy of your support.
That’s it?
