Great document! Love the amount of focus on classical music. Funny how we think of the early “bebop” era as history, but so did they in the 50s, only 10-15 years on. 10-15 years prior to now was only 2008-2013 ish. Wow!!
"I like Dixieland - I like good Dixieland. It's alright, you know? But i just don't play it because I most likely wouldn't make a good job at it anyway. I just think it should go another way."
Such a great interview. Keen to listen to so much more. And crazy to think Charlie is 33 here, the same age I am now - can't really imagine having gained that much musical experience in such a short time. And he'd be gone from this world just two years later.
