Award finalists Posted on27 December 20063 October 2013 Q&A with Darrin Archer – 2006 NJA finalist I was a late starter in jazz. I taught myself piano, and played by ear, and improvised and composed when I was young, but didn’t really discover Jazz until I was 14 or 15. When I heard it I knew straight away that it was for me!
