Hi, this is Hot Jazz guitarist recording artist George Cole. I’m super excited to announce my new podcast “The Hot Jazz Network”. With my 40 years of experience in the music business, we are going to get to the bottom of what Hot Jazz is and just as important, what it is not.

Join me as we take an in person backstage look into all things Hot Jazz. I’ll be speaking with legendary performers, such as: big band leader, Vince Giordano; acoustic music legend, David Grisman; and great American songbook interpreter/expert, Peter Mintun. You’ll hear first hand the backstories of early influences, the personal grit and determination it takes to make it in the music biz, and how after 100 years, Hot Jazz is as vibrant and exciting as it was in the 1920s and 30s.

Let’s explore what makes some of the most successful musicians in jazz history do what they do. Expect the unexpected as me and my A-list guests share behind the scenes stories of our journeys, with all the heartaches, victories, and pitfalls that come with life on the road as a target announce my new podcast, Jazz musician
