The Jazz Session #43: Spencer Day (Tanglewood Jazz Fest Part 3)

Jason Crane interviews singer-songwriter Spencer Day in the last of three interviews recorded at the 2008 Tanglewood Jazz Festival. Day and his band had just finished their set at the festival, one day after Day joined Marian McPartland on stage for a live taping to celebrate her 90th birthday. That’s quite a distance from growing up Mormon in small southwestern towns. Day is nearly finished with his next CD, which includes the Turtle Island String Quartet and a gospel choir performing Day’s compositions. This interview features tracks from Day’s 2005 recording Movie of Your Life. Find out more at spencerday.com.
