about

On this episode, Jim and Thomas interview Nicholas Krolak, a young veteran on Philadelphia jazz scene. Nicholas has made a name for himself playing upright bass for groups as straight-ahead as the Glenn Miller Orchestra, and for innovative contemporary projects like his own album South Cloud. He explains how his latest album, Chicory Root, came together, and how it represents his process as a performer, composer and bandleader. The conversation also touches on Nicholas's passions and hobbies outside of music, his experience living in Germantown, and the differences he has observed between cultures of jazz in the city and the country.
