Seattle journalist Paul de Barros has interviewed every jazz legend you can think of and covers festivals around the world. He writes a weekly column for the Seattle Times and is a contributor to Downbeat magazine. His 1993 book Jackson Street After Hours: The Roots Of Jazz In Seattle is a tribute to the rich musical history of his adopted hometown and digs deep into its social and political context. In this talk at the 2005 Red Bull Music Academy in Seattle, he takes a journey through time and sound, from jazz to anarchism and the avant-garde, all the way up to grunge. Serious knowledge dropped by a true music-lover.
