Threadhead Oral Histories

Today, we completed our second interview for the Friend of the Cabildo’s ongoing oral history project with New Orleans drummers, funded by the Threadhead Cultural Foundation.  Thus far we have chatted with Doug Garrison  and Carlo Nuccio about their experiences and influences as well as recorded some demonstrations behind the kit.  The interview team also includes the Louisiana State Museum (LSM)’s jazz curator, David Kunian and LSM photographer/videographer Mark Sindler.  Looking forward to more of these!

Chris Thile on Music Inside Out

A big thanks to the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation and the folks at Music Inside Out for letting me be a part of the team for their first ever show recorded in front of a live audience – and featuring Chris Thile, to boot!  What a great evening.  Listen to the entire interview here.
