On today's episode, Scott interviews Joe Alterman, a highly regarded jazz and blues pianist who hails from Atlanta, Georgia. His playing has been praised by jazz pianists, Ramsey Lewis and Les McCann, as well as by the legendary jazz journalist, Nat Hentoff who wrote liner notes on three of his albums. Downbeat Magazine said his sound is reminiscent of the great jazz pianists of the 1950s. Today’s guest is also the Executive Director for the Neranenah Concert & Culture Series in Atlanta, Georgia, and he wrote the liner notes for three of “Wynton Marsalis’ Jazz At Lincoln Center” albums. This southern jazz master of the ivories, certainly GOT CHOPS!
