“Dave has a way of asking the right questions that lead to life stories that will hopefully inspire people go on and do great things in their own creative lives. I found the Carla Bley conversation to be fascinating and very touching. Lots of things that I had never really known about her life. Women experience the world, surrounding our music, very differently than men do, hearing her experiences and perspectives of someone who has seen so much and then contributed so much is a reminder to us all to be better, and to do better.”

“These conversations give us a rare look into the thoughts and feelings of some of the most innovative musicians on the planet. I’d forgotten many significant details that helped shape my career—but Dave managed to coax them out of me! Kudos to him and all who participated!”

“Dave Schroeder has the knowledge to ask the right questions, the intellect to process those answers, and the passion to bring the thoughts and histories of jazz musicians to the world at large. If you happen to know any of the musicians interviewed, you will learn more about them … and, if you don’t or didn’t have the opportunity to know some of these men and women, these conversations will both whet your appetite and leave you wanting more. ”
