Lawrence Talmadge “Larry” Queen, a remarkable journalist, Jazz scholar, teacher, and activist based in North Carolina conducted a variety of remarkable interviews with Jazz luminaries–including Louis Armstrong and Dave Brubeck–which he and his family have generously licensed to Jazz at Lincoln Center to share with the public.

We invite you to listen through these amazing historical documents, and experience these artists with a new level of insight into their lives and personalities. Through his insight, warmth, and humor, Larry brings these legends to vivid life in these wonderful discussions.
