A Conversation with Kenneth Nash Part 1

Mama Blue Shoes is the latest album from jazz percussion master and noted producer Kenneth Nash. Breaking out into a superbly syncopated realm all his own, this accomplished musician, composer, producer, arranger, author, and teacher is building bridges of sound with compositions that unite numerous forms and idioms.
Presented in two parts, Kenneth Nash talks with us here about bringing together an accomplished ensemble of players who fuse jazz, pop and world-music elements to create an effervescent brand of music. As demonstrated by the musical excerpts he has included, Mama Blues Shoes is a deep and moving rhythmic jazz album that invites repeated listens.
