TODAY!!!

UNCLE JACKIE INTERVIEWS COMPOSER AND  TRADITIONAL JAZZ CLARINETIST, TIM LAUGHLIN.

WE TALK ABOUT TRADTIONAL NEW ORLEANS JAZZ, IT’S INFLUENCES, AND SOME OF THE BACK STORIES BEHIND TIM’S COMPOSITIONS. TIM SPOKE ABOUT HIS MENTORS LIKE PROF MANNINO OF HOLY CROSS AND HIS INFUENCERS LIKE PETE FOUNTAIN.

TIM ALSO DISCUSSED THE CONSERVATORY OF BOURBON STREET, WHERE HE LEARNED ALL THE NUANCES OF TRADTIONAL NEW ORLEANS JAZZ FROM MANY “OLD SCHOOL” JAZZ PLAYERS.  HE LEARNED MORE ABOUT PLAYING FROM PETE AND LEARNED HOW TO BE A BANDLEADER FROM PROF. MANNINO.
