The Jazz Disturbance: Robert Lee (Audio)

May 03, 2020
Produced by Cheryl K.
This broadcast features an interview with Toronto-based bassist Robert Lee. “Lee’s music is a compelling hybrid of modern chamber music, jazz, and contemporary folk. This album is inspired by the bands of Brian Blade and Christian McBride; the intimate songwriting of artists like Bon Iver and Iron & Wine; and the emotionally provocative films of the great Hayao Miyazaki,” Orange Grove Publicity. His self-released debut is called “Ascension.” Interview recorded on April 29.
