A new collection of music from the last frontier aims to make collaboration easier for jazz musicians to jam together in Alaska.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - The Spenard Jazz Fest will host a livestream show Friday to celebrate the release of “The Alaska Real Book.” It’s a carefully collected compilation of songs from Alaska-based artists to give the state’s musicians a common connection.
“You could open the book find a composer from here in Anchorage, find one of their songs and play it down, and maybe go to a jam session here in Anchorage and call out a song from The Real Book and the other musicians also have the real book they could pull it out and you could all play the song together,” said Cameron Cartland, co-editor of “The Alaska Real Book.”
