Cool Jazz - S02E11
Shownotes
A laid back look at the world of cool jazz, the people who shaped it, and how their revolution helped spark a mid-century East coast/West Coast rivalry in jazz. We’ll talk with our jazz historian Lewis Porter about the birth of the “cool” aesthetic in jazz, listen to some of the champions of the cool sound, and get to know the cool, quirky and often unsung saxophonist who shaped the sound of the legendary Dave Brubeck Quartet.
