Let Freedom Swing | The Jazz Foundation of West Tennessee

The Jazz Foundation of West Tennessee presents "Let Freedom Swing,” a celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy, on Saturday, January 18, at The Ned in downtown Jackson, Tennessee.

Darel Snodgrass talks with headliners Patrice Williamson and Joe Restivo about this concert and their respective paths in jazz.

I began piano lessons at age 6, trumpet at age 9, and began teaching myself the guitar at 10. My electronics knowledge comes from my father, who had the RCA television and stereo shop in my hometown of Pocahontas, Arkansas for nearly 20 years. My dad is still fixing televisions at age 79.
