During our cultural exchange in Lille, we were interviewed by Victor Bouveron on his show "Bluesland," at Radio Campus, Lille. In the interview are composer-producer Candace Forest, bassist-composer-music director Albin Suffys (center), master class student Claire Remy (left), and myself (right). We spoke with host Victor Bouveron about the concert which had taken place the night before at the Theatre les Tisserands, about how we met and created the exchange, and about the master class taught at the Ecole Municipale de Musique et de Danse de Lomme. May 23, 2010. Click on the link above to hear the entire interview, mostly in French, some in English.
