Jo Lawry’s new trio album with Linda May Han Oh and Allison Miller is called Acrobats. In this interview, we talk about the selection of the band members and the repertoire; gender diversity in jazz; Jo’s years with Sting; and more.

NOTES

• You can hear Jo’s 2008 episode of The Jazz Session here.
  
• In addition to the normal bonus episode (see below), members also get an additional 15 minutes of interview material with Jo that isn’t in the regular version of the episode because I try to keep them to 40 minutes.
