New Interview: Thaddeus “Fabulous” Ford goes international

by Alan Cohen

Interview with Thaddeus Ford about his upcoming trip to China

If you’ve been having trouble getting in touch with Thaddeus “Fabulous” Ford in the past week, it’s because he is a long, long way from DFW. The New Orleans trumpeter who moved to Dallas a few years back accepted an invitation to bring his band for an 11-month residency at a club in China. I had a chance to sit down and discuss the trip with Thaddeus days before he left. From everything he tells me, it sounds like an incredible opportunity for both the music and the experience. Frankly, I’m jealous.

Check out the interview, and be sure to send Thaddeus some messages through his MySpace over the next 11 weeks because I know as cool as his experiences in China will be, he’ll still be missing his friends back in Dallas.
