We continue our fascinating discussion with Alyn Shipton with Pt 2 of our show. From London, the British author, journalist, historian, editor, presenter, and jazz bassist discusses his work as a writer, documenting the lives of such musical giants as Bud Powell, Dizzy Gillespie, Jimmy McHugh, Cab Calloway and Harry Nilsson, among others - and a jazz performer; anchoring Alyn Shipton’s New Orleans Jazz Friends, and the Buck Clayton Legacy Band.
