Jazz Abroad - S01E15

Stories and sounds from jazz’s history overseas from the U.S. State Department using jazz as a weapon in the Cold War, the music’s extensive history in other countries, and learn how Israel is producing some of the best modern jazz musicians. We’ll talk with Israeli jazzer Anat Cohen about why Israel is becoming a hotbed for new jazz talent, take a look at the nearly hundred-year-old history of jazz in Japan, and explore Europe’s version of the 1920s Jazz Age.   Episode Transcript   Host: Jeff Haas Guests: Penny Von Eschen, Lewis Porter, E.
