We Boomers may think we know alot--or at least enough--about the legendary John Coltrane, saxophonist and musician extraordinaire and the record industry in the "golden age of jazz." After reading, The House That Trane Built, The Story of Impulse Records, music historian, journalist, producer and author, Ashley Kahn proves there's alot more to know. He joins me to talk about the critically important role of Impulse producers like Bob Thiele, and offers new insights about this important period in history. The Jazz Journalists Association gave Kahn the "Best Book About Jazz" award, while the Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC) gave the book an award for Best Research in Record Labels. Kahn is also the author of the highly acclaimed books, Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece and A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane's Signature Album.
Getting Past Scared: Retirement Planning in a Time of Crisis
In recent weeks, surveys indicate that when it comes to feeling comfortable about our ability to retire, more and more of us are losing our confidence. Jan Cullinane, co-author with Cathy Fitzgerald of The New Retirement, The Ultimate Guide to the Rest of Your Life (Rodale) joins me to discuss the secrets to a successful retirement--even when the economy is in a downturn, zeroing in on recent stats and providing information about the findings from their research, which includes "up-to-date financial info and new anecdotes" from Boomers' experiences. The first edition of Cullinane and Fitzgerald's book made it to #2 on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com (A Harry Potter book held the #1 spot). The newly revised and updated edition was published last year.
