Terrance McKnight interviews Bill T. Jones...with music!



In this special two-hour edition of Q2, host Terrance McKnight interviews acclaimed director-choreographer Bill T. Jones and traces his life through music.
The legendary artistic director, choreographer and dancer reminisces about listening to B.B. King back in the days when he and his parents pulled potatoes as migrant workers; discovering Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, and Joan Baez at college; sharing Barbra Streisand recordings with his late partner, Arnie Zane, with whom he would later found theBill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company in New York; and the music that played as Zane died in his arms.

A beautiful duet!

I have followed Bill's work for many years- and I also lived through the devasting effects of the AIDS epidemic on the dance community. I have so many memories of Bill and Arnie' beautiful body of work.

Thank you both for this deep sharing.
Profoundly moving and eloquently produced.
Thank you
Martha
