The State of Jazz
A journey into the heart of the all-American art form, with the help of jazz-pop legend Don Was
The State of Jazz in 2018
Don Was is nervous. We’re in his room at the Bowery Hotel, sitting next to three-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams. It’s the first time she’s hearing Vanished Gardens, her new album with the legendary jazz saxophonist Charles Lloyd and his group the Marvels. Was produced the album and is putting it out on Blue Note Records, where he has served as president since 2012.
