Jamie at the White House

Jamie presents interviews from his trip to Washington DC for International Jazz Day celebrations at the White House.

Some of the biggest names in jazz gathered at the White House in Washington DC earlier this month for International Jazz Day.

Jamie was performing at the concert, hosted by President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle, and took along his microphone to capture some of his fellow musicians.

At one point during rehearsals, part of the White House was evacuated because of a suspect bag, and Jamie took that opportunity to record interviews with Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Robert Glasper, Kurt Elling, Esperanza Spalding and legendary bassist Marcus Miller.
