Let's Find Common Ground: Jazz Meets Classical on Christian Howes' Podcast

January 11, 2016, 8:36 PM · What happens when someone who loves classical music meets someone who loves jazz? A great conversation!

Jazz violinist Christian Howes interviewed me last month for his Creative Strings Podcast, and we talked about all kinds of things: the early days of the Internet and the evolution of Violinist.com; finding common ground between beginners, teachers and elite players; things that are working in the business of classical music; and how we can all get along and promote what we love — violin music. And more. I hope you enjoy our talk!

The question about why there are disproportionately few female performers in jazz (except, perhaps, for vocalists) is a fair question but also quite a long-standing one. So don't feel bad that you didn't have a convincing answer; I've never heard one from anyone else either.
