PA Historical Marker for Allan Jaffe
I’m happy to announce that my application for a Pennsylvania Historical Marker dedicated to Allan Jaffe (Preservation Hall) has been approved! The marker will be installed in Pottsville, PA sometime next year.
Offbeat Magazine in New Orleans published a short article I wrote about how this project came to be. You can read it here.
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!
