This issue of the Jerry Jazz Musician newsletter is devoted to announcing the latest edition of "Conversation with Gary Giddins." In an enlightening, passionate conversation, Giddins -- for many years the country's most eminent jazz critic -- discusses the beginnings of jazz in the city of New Orleans, its prominent figures, and what needs to be done to properly market jazz in a city that has contributed so much toward shaping the soul of America. The conversation is the first of three Jerry Jazz Musician features on New Orleans to be published in the coming weeks.
