Burning Ears, pt. 8: Stockton Record
Tony Sauro of the Stockton Record caught Missy during the California tour (going on RIGHT NOW!) and got her to open up a bit about the new way the New Hip plays music:
“I just would like to be able to pull in as many different listeners as I can from a lot of different worlds. I don’t wanna leave bluegrass behind. I also really like to cross-pollinate. In the jazz world, I know we’re not playing real jazz. I totally get it. For purists, it’s not really jazz.
“I like the whole idea of mixing people up. So I can see dyed-in-the-wool bluegrass people right next to Windham Hill jazzers. They realize what they have in common is the music, and that makes me happy.”
You can read the whole deal here, and you can find Missy and the New Hip on tour here.
