About this episode

David Bixler interviews trumpeter Joe Magnarelli about his career and latest album, Concord.

For nearly forty years, trumpeter Joe Magnarelli has been a fixture on the New York City jazz scene, gracing the bandstands of icons like Brother Jack McDuff , Lionel Hampton , Toshiko Akiyoshi , and Harry Connick Jr . While playing with these legends, he continued to hone his skills in a variety of small groups, both as a sideman and a leader. His latest work, Concord , is a testament to that unyielding drive. The title, a word defined as "agreement or harmony between people or groups," is a fitting reflection of the music on this album. This new recording, his third for the SteepleChase label, finds Magnarelli in a quartet setting, featuring pianist Victor Gould , bassist Paul Sikivie , and drummer Rodney Green.
