The Canadian Jazz Archive Online, from JAZZ.FM91, Canada’s premier jazz radio station, has a fantastic collection of music, bands, bios, and audio interview snippets (all of which will eventually be linked here!) In these samples, from two separate interviews dated 1983 and 1985, the great pianist discusses a number of topics, including Ellington, Monk, and his early influences.
