A Tribute to Paradise Garage w/ Michele Saunders

The Paradise Garage. One of the most important and influential clubs in New York. Michele Saunders, a Parisian native turned lifelong New Yorker, knows it well. Growing up listening to her father's records, Michele found her passion in exploring the crossroads between Jazz and Rock at least. Her lifelong passion for music took shape when she moved to America, catching the world-famous Amateur night at the Apollo Theatre in Haarlem and experiencing the legendary Paradise Garage alongside Larry Levan. In today's chat, we discussed all this, starting from her childhood, the time spent in New York City in the 70s and 80s and, of course, the legendary Paradise Garage.
