Billy Contreras is a violinist based around Nashville USA. He is one of my favourite players and I was really excited to chat to him about what he has been working on recently.  I have started a new podcast called.... Locked in the Green Room http://hyperurl.co/nlee8r A 'Green Room' is the musicians limbo, it is where we sit and wait for our gig to start. We as musicians now all find ourselves in a huge green room whilst we wait patiently for our gigs to start again. So please join me in this virtual green room where I will be chatting to different musicians around the world, from all genres and areas of music. We cover everything and anything about living in this new world of social distancing.   Patreon   You can become a patron of the podcast on Patreon by following this link   https://www.patreon.com/Jazzviolinpodcast   Becoming a patron of the podcast means that you are directly helping the podcast continue. This is a chance for you to help out with the running costs of the podcast, if you feel like you get a lot out of my interviews you can be a part of it by donating a small amount of money.   I will be creating one extra monthly show specifically for my patrons. This is either an interview with a musician I know from the jazz scene or I also create episodes where I listen back to previous shows and chat about some key points that my guests bring up. There are so many great ideas and concepts that these amazing musicians bring up and I would like to share with you some of my favourites!   The music at the beginning of the episode is from a video of Billy playing Au Privave in all twelve keys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5BVE0S-rJw   I feature a new release at the end from Dominic Ingham called 'Phones', coming out May 1st 2020 http://www.dominicingham.com/
