LONG-FORM INTERVIEW, Daniel Wittmer | As the manager of many legendary musicians over the past fifty years, Raymond Gonzalez talks about his career and shares never-before-told stories from his extraordinary journey. Let’s be clear: he has nothing to promote or sell here—no album, no single, no concert, no kamagong wood ashtray brought back from a Tibetan market in the summer of 1994. In addition to his immense generosity and exemplary courage, he is an extraordinary producer. He managed Nina Simone for twenty years.
