My 2000 conversation (one of my first for Jazz Inspired) with author, film critic and film historian Leonard Maltin. We discuss Leonard’s favorite jazz, growing up in a musical family, his own piano playing and his four-hand duet with me on Entertainment Tonight early in my career. Yup, Leonard did a five minute feature on me for ET. In TV terms that’s VERY long. These days even Taylor wouldn’t get five minutes on ET, so this was a career changing moment for me that I owe to Leonard.​
