JazzTown 2023 - Review & Interview!

"Transportive, Immersive, Exciting!"

Award-winning jazz author Debbie Burke reviews JazzTown & Conducts In-Depth Interview with Director Ben Makinen:

What does jazz’s Old Guard think of the music industry today and what was it like to come up into it? Filmmaker/producer, drummer and jazz lover Ben Makinen has just released a documentary called JazzTown that examines the changes in the music biz and the performing life. With a loving eye to the greats who prevailed through all their battle scars, challenges and the joys of being a musician, the film is an incredibly entertaining and vibeful experience where the artists, some now gone, provide their honest opinions on how it was to be part of the mid-century jazz scene in America. Some of those featured include Dianne Reeves, Ron Miles, Charles Burrell, Ayo Awosika, Charlie Hunter, Creighton Holley, and many others. A very strong recommend.
