Composer John Finbury’s life has been filled with music, although he’s had what he calls his “parallel life as practicing attorney” for the last thirty-five years. John played drums in rock bands in his teens, studied classical piano and music theory in college, ran a concert hall after that and eventually focused on composing, which led to a Grammy nomination in 2020 for Best Latin Jazz Album. I talked to John about his new Latin jazz CD, Quatro and his CD American Nocturnes: Final Days of July, which is a lovely contrast of intimate chamber jazz arranged for piano, cello, guitar, accordion and harmonica.
