If your only exposure to what it might be like to study jazz in college comes from the movie Whiplash, you need to watch this.

In the latest installment of our video interview series, Nicholas from LTA talks with Dr. Jared Sims, Associate Professor and Director of Jazz Studies at West Virginia University, and the conversation is educational, fascinating, and just plain fun.

If you have even a passing interest in jazz - or the names Sonny Stitt, Maceo Parker, Miles Davis, Kamasi Washington, Thundercat, or John Medeski mean anything to you - you'll enjoy this interview.
