ブランフォード・マルサリス
Branford Marsalis
楽しかった！ブルーノートの演奏が終わってから遊びに来た。番組の終わる時間まで居た。LoveFMのジャズCD全てぐらい出した。ブランフォードの選曲番組でした。
Branford came in after playing the Blue Note and stayed until the end of the show! 2am! We had piles of CDs and were playing all kinds of stuff. It was a blast.
小野リサ
So embarrassing. We were talking about a tune by Toninho Horta on her new CD, and I asked "Who's singing?". Lisa said "ME!". Whoops. I clarified, "Who's playing Bass?". All went fine.
小曽根真
Makoto Ozone
バリバリ親切な人。二回も遊びに来てくれた。サタデイナイトジャズの最初の頃に生インタビューにこられた。
ハービー・ハンコック
Herbie Hancock
I was only 90 percent terrified to meet this legendary artist. After being live interviewed by a fine DJ, but who knew little of jazz, he gave me the evil eye and asked "What's this interview going to be like?". We entered an interview studio the size of two phone booths and sat about 6 inches apart. I asked about when he recorded Ceora with Lee Morgan. When I said "What drew you to the piano?", he really dug that I asked "what drew you?" as opposed to "Why did you want to play?" He told me about meeting Miles the first time, and his Ferrari.
木住野佳子
Yoshiko Kishino
By now I knew to emphasize the artist's new CD and tour. OTJ. We had a good time talking about her influences and things. The interview CD: "Waltz For Debbie" - 1999. Did I mention she likes Bill Evans?
ミシェル・ペトルチアーニ
Michel Petrucciani
Born in Orange, France and living in NYC, he had a Brooklyn/French accent.I was very new at interviewing, but his gracious way carried us through. CD: "Both Worlds" - 1997. I think he got in some hot water for coming to the station without his handlers. Adventurous. Like his music.
