Re: The Don Stiernberg Interview
These Interviews are the bomb. The extended format really lets the info flow. I also get the feeling that using the Cafe questions opens up new lines of discussion that the interviewee might not have contemplated in a simple 'tell us your story' communication.
This one with Don is particularly interesting. In particular the elements of style in jazz and bluegrass and how do and do not cross. We have a nationally know traditional jazz band here in San Antonio (the Jim Cullum Band - NPR's "Live from the Landing" show) that I love to go see. I have often noted how the soloing in their tunes is so similar to how solos work for Bluegrass.
Thank you Don, thank you Cafe
