Madison’s own Hanah Jon Taylor, Café Coda proprietor and internationally known jazz saxophonist and flutist, is currently hosting his venue’s first ever CodaFest with both free and ticketed events through Sunday. He took a few minutes this morning to talk with 8 O’Clock Buzz host Tony Castanéda about CodaFest, the important role jazz plays in cross-cultural communication and how Café Coda serves as a hub for regional jazz artists who might not otherwise make it to Madison.
