In Studio: Jocelyn Gould

Earlier this year, many of us were still quarantining at home. That was the case for our friend and guitarist, Jocelyn Gould. In the months since, she has begun performing in public again, and just a few weeks ago, we had the pleasure of hearing Jocelyn perform live in New York City. Our interview centered around her most recent project, “Elegant Traveler,” which is currently available from Posi-Tone. We also looked at some of the highlights of her own personal journey beginning with her family in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. More at jocelyngould.com.

In Studio: Ted Nash (Transformation)

Composer and arranger Ted Nash has long been a fixture in the international jazz community, and we are honored to consider him a part of our radio family. Yet, it was some of his own family experiences that helped inspire his latest work, “Transformation,” a collaboration with the celebrated actress of stage and screen, Glenn Close. During the interview, we delve a little deeper into this transformative work as we hear the stories that have inspired the songs. More at tednash.com.
