The Jazz Room Host, Joan Watson Jones begins her two part conversation with Author, composer, and Saxophonist, Paul Combs.

We talk about his book ”Dameronia- The Life and Music of Tad Dameron." Now based in San Diego. CA, Paul was one of our long time Boston area musicians and we were very happy to have him on the show.

In part 1 Paul talks about how he came to write this biography and gives us insights on how Tad Dameron influenced Jazz artists during the Bop Era.
