VJC Q&T podcast host Russell Schmidt shares questions and tangents with jazz pianist, vocalist, composer, and educator Pam Morita (The Nash Futures Workshop, Paradise Valley Community College). In this episode, they discuss Pam’s transition from a classical piano student to a working jazz musician, why she is particularly motivated to work with music students who are at the beginning of their jazz journeys, and even how a more optimistic worldview allows her to find beauty in some interesting places.
