I am so glad I got to sit down and chat with Jordan Anderson for Life is a Piano! He is a wonderfully musical pianist and keyboardist from the east side of Michigan, and he's currently studying at Michigan State University while performing with groups like Sabbatical Bob, The Vincent Chandler Experience, and soon with his powerful statement of black artistry, Say Less! We have honest conversations about the relationships between audiences and performers, jazz history and its impact on the current educational and performance landscapes, and so much more in this episode!



Note: Thanks so much to listeners for their patience, between the Halloween show taking up my Saturday and full days of work Sunday/Monday, I had to delay the episode's release to today. Hope you enjoy the conversation!
