Archives, Episode 48: A Jazz Fan ’s Formative Recordings

A jazz bassist from Peterborough, Ontario, Craig Paterson talks about the music that ‘formed’ him, turning him into a jazz fan. He selected 10 albums, and in this episode he talks about five of them. And we play parts of them for you.

At the same time Craig does a great job dissecting what it is about those recordings that made them so interesting to him.

I also asked him to select a Canadian album that excites him—and he chose an album with a band fronted by saxophonist P.J. Perry.

If you like what you are hearing and want to hear the rest of his selections, go to Episode 49 and give a listen!
