Musician Profile: Jay Mumford [Video]

Happy New Year folks. Figure I’ll start ’24 off with an “oh snap, I forgot to share that in ’23” post because it seems the year doesn’t even start until the third week in January. At least in the music business. Well, almost everyone, except the tax man. So here’s a brief musician profile that videographer Surabhi Sundaram shot on me back in the fall for a Columbia University film school project. Hence, it’s unlisted on YouTube, but the link will live here for now. It’s near impossible to squeeze 40 years of musical ride into 4 minutes, so this one focuses on my earliest discovery of music, learning to play drums for my sanity while taking care of my grandmother in my 30s and behind the scenes on a Du-Rites gig. Kind of a clandestine, members only bonus clip, if you will. Thanks to Surabhi for taking an interest in my musician journey and doing an excellent job. (Let’s just say I’m…press weary lately, haha). Enjoy.
