We chat with Jared Putnam, bass player for Albuquerque’s most beloved mangy jazz band, Le Chat Lunatique, and one half of the similarly beloved duo, Sage and Jared’s Happy Gland Band (along with Pyragraph’s Managing Editor Sage Harrington). Hosts Peri Pakroo and Clarke Condé chat with Jared about touring Kazakhstan and other far-flung spots around the globe, making lo-tech videos with Sage, and playing in Lynn Anderson’s band.

Thanks as always to Contributing Editor Jeremy Kinter and Turtle O’Toole for their smoove moves running A/V and tech.

Theme song: “You Know Who You Are” by Sam Miller.
