Loren Schoenberg, Executive Director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem, wears many hats. A saxophonist, pianist, band leader and arranger, he’s also an award-winning writer and historian. Schoenberg has been awarded a Grammy for two sets of liner notes (a 1995 Smithsonian Recordings box set of Louis Armstrong music, and a 2004 Mosaic Records box set of the Woody Herman Orchestra, 1945-47), and is the author of The NPR’s Curious Listener’s Guide to Jazz. Yet tonight, unlike other evenings of Jazz for Curious Listeners and Harlem Speaks, where Loren plays the role of the interviewer, he’ll be in the other chair, being interviewed about his excellent writings on the art of jazz. |
