Lynn Darroch: Coffeeshop Conversation #50: A music journalist speaks

By TOM D'ANTONI //

A Jazz journalist, writer and storyteller, tells his own story.

Lynn Darroch at KMHD

As usual, we’re at World Cup Coffee and Tea at Northwest 18^th and Glisan in Portland.

With me today is someone you’ve probably been reading for…well, decades. He’s best known as a Jazz Journalist but he’s also known for recording pieces he’s written to the accompaniment of some of our greatest Jazz musicians.

He’s Lynn Darroch, he’s also a KMHD stablemate of mine, and for a while we were both in the hunt for assignments at the Oregonian.

He has a new book on the way, it’s called Rhythm in the Rain - Jazz in the Pacific Northwest." We’ll hear him read from it.

Next time Darka Dusty will be paying a visit to the coffeeshop. She’s multi-talened and we’ll find out what all of them are, well some of them.

Right now, let’s meet Lynn Darroch
