Abstract

A raw interview for New York Post taken probably in Margaret Carson's office with a few remarks coming likely from her. The questions posed by Adams are muffled on occasion and not everything said is clear because of the background traffic noise. The interview revolves around Thomas's career, his views on art and music culture in general, the musical atmosphere in Los Angeles where he mingled with the likes of Jascha Heifetz, Gregor Piatigorsky, Igor Stravinsky and many talented studio musicians, and his aspirations and objectives.
