Hannah Leatherbury, E-Services Manager at the Southern Arts Federation. In February, I was lucky enough to interview jazz vocalistcomposer and educator, Nnenna Freelon (www.southernartistry.orgnnenna_freelon) in the midst of her travels across the country on the 22-state Monteray Jazz Festival 50th Anniversary Tour. Nnenna is featured on the Southern Arts Federations juried, online artist registry, SouthernArtistry.org. This interview features Nneena talking about the Monteray Jazz Festival 50th Anniversary Band, along with a few lessons about life on the road, and more on her future endeavors, plus, some excerpts of the band in action.
