Hot BB

Here's a video interview with Big Peter from the Hot 8 on Boing Boing TV. Not much to say about it because it (er, literally) speaks for itself.

As kind of an aside, though, right next to the part I video on the website is an ad for Michael Ondaatje's book Coming Through Slaughter, which I recommend rather highly. It's a fictionalized account of Buddy Bolden, the legendary ur-cornetist of jazz. It's really thoughtfully done and kind of sucks you into its turn-of-the-century New Orleans world.
