Episode #30: Live in Cape May - Billy Childs' Laura Nyro project, Jamie Cullum, Freddy Cole and how to sing like a MF
In this live edition of JazzTimes Spins & Riffs taped at the Exit 0 International Jazz Festival in Cape May, New Jersey, Lee and Rene spin cuts from three recent albums featuring very different vocalists: Allison Krauss (on Billy Childs' Laura Nyro project), Jamie Cullum and Freddy Cole. Rene and Lee riff on Rene's SLAM workshop for singers and what she has learned from her students. They also talk about the difference between singers and instrumentalists. Sponsored by ECM Reords.
