In part two of this interview, Edwin Tony Nicholas expounds on his professional relationship with the late, great Gerald LeVert and its inauspicious beginnings. He also discusses the effects that technology has on modern music, his ability to take more time to produce a great record than a major label and the importance of recognizing new generations of music-even if it isn’t your cup of tea. Part 2. Enjoy.
