I'm only posting the last TEN interviews in this blog, but we have interviews in most all issues from the start.  To see a listing of all those historical issues, please visit the IMPROVIJAZZATION NATION Archive page.

Hope you enjoy these & will spread the word to your friends... as you well know, it's VERY important to tell others, as most INDIE efforts are promoted that way (the "BIG PRESS" certainly isn't interested in helping to promote INDIE artists, as it doesn't fit their "cookie-cutter" approach!

Blake - well, I'll have to be the first to admit that I've an "ulterior motive" for "supporting your stuff"... MY stuff! Ha! Ha! But, yes, the 'zine has been a "labor of love" for INDIE in general & jazz/improv in specific. I just think it's (nearly) CRIMINAL that so many GR8 players are in places like this & "undiscovered" by the "BIG GUYS"... there's no doubt in my mind that sites like MIXPOSURE are just as important an element of "freedom" as any other initiatives the politicians (may) have undertaken. In my jaded view, that's EXACTLY what the politicians are AFRAID OF... that if "we" make it, there won't be any need for THEM any longer!

LONG LIVE INDIE!

Jim - there are about 9 more interviews (if you open up the whole blog). Also several more if you go to the 'zine ARCHIVE index... I'm also in the process of lining up interviews with several more MIXPOSURE volkz!
