EP73: Howard Paul Part II: Savannah Jazz

Howard Paul is well known and respected as a highly accomplished jazz guitarist. But he is also a pillar of the Savannah, Georgia music community. He has served as Savannah Jazz Festival chair and president of the board of directors of the Savannah Jazz/Coastal Jazz Association for a combined twelve years. He was inducted into the Savannah Coastal Jazz Hall of Fame in 2011. Howard continues as a member of the Association board, which oversees and manages Association activities, including the annual Savannah Jazz Festival, educational programs, and the Savannah History Museum's Savannah Jazz History & Hall of Fame Exhibit. In this episode of Music Life & Times, Howard recounts some of the history of jazz in Savannah, which, he explains, is similarly rich and deep as that of New Orleans, and how the city, including through the annual Festival and an extensive and impressive calendar of performances throughout the year, continues to provide jazz fans access to some of the today's most outstanding jazz musicians and music.
