The Ry Cooder Story

10 Jazz (1978)

54 min • 2 november 2023

In 1978, Cooder made his most controversial record: Jazz. It was his seventh studio album, and for it he combined traditional jazz with Caribbean music, adding a 19th-century habanera, songs from minstrelsy and black vaudeville, and chamber arrangements composed by early jazz musicians. Jazz holds a special place in Cooder's oeuvre – not only because it plows different ground than virtually any other Cooder album, but also because Cooder himself has distanced himself from it.


This podcast frequently uses small snippets of musical recordings in podcast episodes for educational, review, and commentary purposes. In all cases, without exception, we believe this is protected by fair use in the U.S., fair dealing in the U.K. and EEA, and similar exceptions in the copyright laws of other nations. No more of the original than necessary is used, and excerpts are edited into long-form narratives, making the use transformative in nature.
