Jon Benjamin is here to discuss The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of The (Unproduced) Film…The Jazz Daredevil, the H in his name, his Massachusetts roots, attending a Guelph Storm hockey game, the Edmonton Oilers and the Boston Celtics, working from home and how recording sessions for Archer and Bob’s Burgers differed, why he should consider playing the Guelph Jazz Festival and the Jazz Daredevil’s overall perspective on jazz, the story and cast of characters behind this new soundtrack, which is an unusual soundtrack, trying to make this Jazz Daredevil movie, perhaps with Daniel Day-Lewis attached, what’s next for the Jazz Daredevil, other future plans, and more.
