Before we jumped into our interview with Matt Soverns in this episode, we talked briefly about the recently passed Jazz Producer and Musicians’ Advocate Jean-Phillipe Allard. We play two cuts from Charlie Haden, produced by Allard. To learn more about his career, check out these links:

– Wikipedia Page (if you read French)

On Saturday June 29th, pianist, singer, songwriter, street musician extraordinaire will have an Album Release party at the District Theater in Downtown Indianapolis at 8pm. On this show, we play a few of Matt’s original tunes to give you an idea of his wide range of tune writing skills. He has a little something for everyone and we think you’ll enjoy it (and not just because a trombone is featured on two tracks)!

Matt Sovern’s new album, “Phoning It In” is a good one and we highly recommend you check it out, and/or come down to the FREE Album Release party at the District Theatre on Mass Ave, Saturday June 29th at 8pm. We’ll see you there!
