Series for Clay Ryder
This tongue-in-cheek series aims to help the jazz novice or aficionado to more fully understand the creative life tension that is the jazz musician. Several aspects of Jazz behavior related to performing, soloing, booking gigs, and interacting with the audience are examined with musicians' truth and quite a bit of kiddin' on the square.

Sound Ideas explores the artistry of jazz, blues, and the spoken word. Hosted by Clay Ryder, each episode explores a different theme or genre of the jazz idiom through recorded performances pulled from more than eighty years of recorded art. The music is the focus. It is complemented by a few minutes of intelligent commentary to set the context and make the music understandable and personal for both the jazz aficionado and those who listen on the jazz periphery. Each episode can air as a stand-alone or in a series.
