Hello Dr. Reed,
I am a producer at NPR Music and also work on Jazz Night In America, a weekly radio program and occasional video series. We are producing a radio show to celebrate the centennial of the great Dr Billy Taylor and I was wondering if you would be up for a 30-minute interview to help tell the story of his life and work. Would love to discuss more on email or the phone – if you could forward your contact info.
Many thanks for your consideration,
Suraya Mohamed
