Host Andrew Gilbert discusses the changes at JazzTIMES with James Gavin & John Murph, part 1

After decades as one of the world's leading jazz magazines, JazzTimes was purchased last May by The BeBop Channel, which unceremoniously cancelled all assignments. Staff and writers owed for past work are still waiting to get paid, and the publication has devolved into something unrecognizable. I discussed the distressing situation and the larger landscape for covering jazz in-depth with two brilliant colleagues, John Murph and James Gavin
