Starting Oct. 15, jazz enthusiasts can listen in as Broken Record podcast host Justin Richmond interviews musicians Norah Jones, Meshell Ndegeocello, Julian Lage, Ron Carter and Charles Lloyd about their storied careers. The Lage interview will include a special musical performance by the artist.

The interviews are part of an exclusive collaboration between Broken Record and Blue Note Records celebrating 85 years of the historic jazz label.

The Broken Record podcast targets a new audience of music lovers in a world where album liner notes are quickly becoming a thing of the past, according to Richmond, who is the producer and co-host of Broken Record with writer Malcolm Gladwell, journalist Bruce Headlam and music producer Rick Rubin.

“For generations of music lovers, the liner notes on albums were a central part of the way music was heard. You bought an album and it came with an accompanying narrative: a digression, an aside, a backstory — maybe even an invented history,” Richmond said. “We intuitively understood that great music required not just listening but conversation between the artist and the audience and the audience and the rest of the world. Broken Record is a podcast that restarts those conversations.”
