Summary

Today's episode is all about a traditional jazz camp held each year in New Orleans. About 15 years ago my guest, Banu Gibson, looked up and realized there was no jazz camp in New Orleans, so she and a couple other people decided to create one. Join me as we learn all about the camp - what it's about, who it's for, and how even non-participants can enjoy their work!
