Spoke with jazz drummer Mike Reed for the CHIRP Radio Artist Interview Series this week. It was a great pleasure being able to talk with him about his work for Pitchfork Fest and Chicago Jazz Fest as well as what he has coming up next for his solo projects. You can check out the conversation here, or below:
As a fun bit of trivia, I'm often confused for Mike at shows around Chicago (we have similar names) and have had to turn down many guest list opportunities knowing that the front door person has made a mistake. There isn't any other reason for mentioning this other than to point out that it personally amuses me when it happens.
