Jacob Swedlow Talks Jazz (and more) on Listening Lyrics. Aired Friday July 17, 2020
Thu, 07/16/2020 - 12:22pm | Pieter PastoorJacob Swedlow is a talented and beautiful human being. In a far-ranging interview he shares with us his music, and how Covid-19 and the Black Lives Matter storm affected him -- all of it influencing his own being and his creativity.
The best I can do is let Jacob talk a little about himself:
"My name is Jacob Swedlow, and I am a drummer, composer, vibraphonist, and teacher from Sacramento. After being exposed to Black American music at a young age, I have developed a deep passion for the history, culture, and innovation of the music, as well as the urge to play it! After my first few professional performances, I realized that this was the path for me.
