425 - Cynthia Sayer

On this episode we meet Internationally renowned jazz banjoist and vocalist Cynthia Sayer. The New York Times had this to say about our special guest: "Miss Sayer finds lively banjo harmonies and provocative phrasing ... a rare jazz banjoist." She joins us to talk about her latest album "Attractions" and also the many musical legends she has performed and recorded with.

A woman of many talents, Sayer composes songs, sings, and in addition to the banjo, she performed on the piano as a 10-year veteran of the Eddy Davis & Woody Allen New Orleans Jazz Band. Cynthia Sayer is a woman who is changing the way the banjo is perceived and appreciated by the public--both in terms of who plays the instrument, but also with respect to the many styles which can be performed on the banjo.
