NYU Steinhardt Jazz Interview Series at SubCulture in New York. Dr. David Schroeder interviews legendary GRAMMY-Award winning jazz saxophonist Joe Lovano.
I have to agree. Usually, Schroeder asks his interviewees more probing questions. I really enjoy this interview series. I don't know if it was because he was starstruck by Lovano or what, but when he asks Lovano: "You were decked out like a star in your white suit and sunglasses, playing for a big crowd in Montreaux. What does that do for you?", I realized he had already asked a version of that very shallow question several times. I'm generally very impressed with Schroeder as an incisive interviewer; this just isn't his best work.

I have never recovered my own album,and I'm still waiting,sitting here trying to get to the studio
Joe was the leader of our band in the 60's when he was 15 years old. Many are called ....few are chosen...Joe is of the latter....A BORN LEADER..
Yeah, went to high school with Joe -- he was an amazing talent already at that time!
Now you guys need to make a video for Mark Turner!!!
Such a gifted musician and teacher..
beautiful ...thanks for sharing!
great interview! loved the questions and personality.
Thx, beautiful stuff!
Joe has a remarkable memory, in addition to his remarkable playing.
David, how about an interview with Ralph Towner?!
amazing a true master
I'm digging these interviews, but they should really turn down the compression on the vocal mic..
they're picked up a bit too much room on this one. the Chris Potter ones have a weird frequency dependent panning that is really weird sounding...
rillloudmother that drove me bonkers!
nicktardifbass7 i'm glad i'm not the only one who noticed this stuff.
+rillloudmother it's kinda relaxing lol
That tune at the end sounds like Someday I'll Find You, what is the tune?
What's that tune that plays in the beginning
I've seen quite a few of these now, and I gotta say, seems like the questions could be better ...
Juan Manuel Trujillo I agree. Lovano is very patient with him here, and rises above the superficiality.
Imagine the douchiest college music teacher you ever saw. This guy has 3 more PhD's then that douche.

My name is "love"...in my original genesis with my father and Creator ALOHEM
What saxophone does he play ?
Hes playing a Balanced Action here. Nowadays he mostly plays the Borgani Joe Lovano model. I've seen him play a Conn transition before as well.
