Live taping of Judy Carmichael’s Jazz Inspired from the beautiful Dixon Historic Theatre. I’ve wanted a midwest home for Jazz Inspired for years and now Dixon is it! I tape the shows all over the world, but primarily in Los Angeles, NYC and London. The Dixon Historic Theatre location gives me the backdrop of this gorgeous, historic theater and access to the wonderful musicians in nearby Chicago and other midwest cities.
March 25th my guests will be drummer Bob Rummage and guitarist Andy Brown. We’ll play, we’ll talk, we’ll take questions from the audience and record it all for later broadcast on NPR.
And who doesn’t love drummers? Bob is Director of percussion at Elmhurst University and one of the busiest musicians in Chicago. He’s performed with jazz giants Dizzy Gillespie, Nat Adderley, Benny Golson, Buddy DeFranco and many others. Check out Bob HERE.
