about
On this episode, we welcome to the lounge Farid Barron, one of Philadelphia's best-known jazz musicians. He is a former member of Wynton Marsalis's Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, and he has collaborated on recordings with Victor Goines, Herlin Riley and Wycliffe Gordon, all of whom are also known for their work with JLCO. He has also served as pianist for the Sun Ra Arkestra, which operates in a wildly different artistic realm, but, as he observes, shares more with JLCO than we might think. Farid has world-class piano skills and a distinctive touch on the instrument. Today he tells us about his experience as a student of the piano, and some of the qualities shared by all his favorite musicians -- Art Tatum, Thelonius Monk, Sarah Vaughan, and more.
