A resident of the Gualala coast since 1995, Fred Adler has been a friend and mentor for me since we first met in the late 90s. For the past 18 years, he has coordinated the Redwood Whale and Jazz Festival on the South Coast of Mendocino. He also hosted “Sunday Evening Jazz” once a month for 25 years on kzyx and now he hosts the Music of Page and Screen from 1-3 on the first sat of the month here on KZYX. He also hosted a popular jazz show called Wednesday Night Jazz, plus Sunday Musical Journey and a weekly Coastal Interviews show for over 20 yaers on KTDE FM Gualala.  Needless to say, Fred knows a lot about Jazz.  I hope you enjoy and learn from this conversation as much as I did.
