Hall of Fame Interviews

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Society arranged for individual conversations with those living “Hall of Fame” members, as a way of capturing their thoughts and influences affecting their love of jazz. The Austin Jazz Society is very thankful to have Rabbi Neil Blumofe, recognized jazz aficionado and historian, conduct these interviews and give listeners a sense of commitment, history, contributions, and personal love of America's own art form: Jazz.
