"I'm just so grateful."
That's what legendary jazz vocalist Lisa Nobumoto says over and over to Emmeline in this episode as she talks about her life as a touring vocalist, her time with masters like Teddy Edwards, and the creation of her nonprofit organization, The Jazz Masters Series.
In this episode, Lisa discusses her brand new album, A Tribute to Jazz Singer Nancy Wilson. She also talks about how she began making music, what mentorship looks like, and why the parents of musicians should be supportive first and judgmental second--if at all! She also shares with Emmeline her lifelong mission to uplift, honor, and celebrate jazz music of all kinds--from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to Memphis--through the Jazz Masters Series and the Jazz Masters Orchestra.
