On today's new episode of The Tonearm Podcast, Tomeka Reid joins us to talk about 'dance! skip! hop!', the fourth album from her quartet—and one of the more irresistible things to come out of avant-garde jazz this year. Reid discusses writing music she could bounce around to, the very physical demands of the cello, and what twelve years with the same four musicians does to a band sound.She also talks about her grandmother's photographs from Green River, Wyoming, and how those images keep finding their way onto her album covers, what the cello can do that other jazz instruments can't, and the philosophy behind the Chicago Jazz String Summit.Don't miss this special episode: https://podcast.thetonearm.com/tomeka-reid-the-low-seat-the-long-haul-and-dance-skip-hop-cellist/#Jazztodon #TomekaReid #Cello #JazzMusic
