Note: Each month, KPLU invites a teen guest DJ to play his or her favorite pieces on the air. The program is part of KPLU's School of Jazz.
North Thurston High junior Eli Moffatt is KPLU's guest DJ for the month of November. To get to know him better, we asked 16-year-old Eli to answer a few questions about jazz:
Which instrument do you play and why?
I play the drums because rhythm is love, rhythm is life, YO!!!
What’s your all-time favorite jazz piece?
Sandu by Clifford Brown and Max Roach
Who's your jazz hero?
Buddy Rich
What is jazz, exactly? How would you describe it?
Jazz is experimental art. It’s a style of music that has no limitations.
