## Resource

Janel Leppin returns to discuss her new solo album Slowly Melting and Pluto in Aquarius by Janel Leppin's Ensemble Volcanic Ash, her ability to compartmentalize her visual art impulses from her musical ones, why she frequently releases more than one album on the same day, how Susan Alcorn and David Lynch remain constant inspirations, an eye-opening Mdou Moctar tour, making protest jazz music in a politically volatile time, her compelling and dynamic use of the cello as a lead instrument in jazz expressions, her tribute to Deerhoof, why she employs fuzz and distortion, loving pedals and naming songs after different ones, upcoming shows, another new record, other future plans, and much more.
