It is said that people become more like themselves with age, and with the release of this new album—a decidedly jazzy exploration of both traditional and contemporary material—the 84-year-old Stookey seems increasingly comfortable in his own skin. “My attempt to infuse folk music with what might be considered unusual chord structures has always focused on fulfilling what I see as the promise of a lyric’s emotional content.”

The GRAMMY Museum was thrilled to welcome Noel Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul, and Mary for an intimate conversation about his contributions to America's musical history and the making of his new album FAZZ: NOW &THEN, followed by a special performance.
