Beyond Mastery
Interview with Matt Glaser
Matt Glaser is an American jazz and bluegrass violinist and has been an influential thought leader in the history of American jazz and roots music for many years. In this episode with host Eugene Friesen, he talks about his journey in the creative industry, his insights into the history of American jazz and roots music, and how his journey aligns with the world of improvisation, collaboration, and creative expression.
Given that his thoughts and insights have been featured in Ken Burns' documentary Jazz, it is clear that Matt's contributions to the music industry went beyond the stage. He has served as the chair of the string department at the Berklee College of Music for over twenty-five years and is now the founder and artistic director of Berklee's American Roots Music Program.
