I've recently bumped into a few things worthy of sharing with this group:

This was new to me, but originally posted in 2012. It's a wonderful interview with Toots Thielemans that was part of a jazz master class series at NYU: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_UlWWSF-FM

I've been slowly working my way through Howard Levy's new memoir "I Speak Music". If you don't already have a copy, you can purchase a signed copy directly from Howard's website. It is a wild ride, highly recommended! https://levyland.com/book-i-speak-music

Speaking of Howard, his "Music Legends You Should Know" series is absolutely wonderful. These are short raps about incredible musicians you may have never heard of, presented as only Mr. Levy can. Here's the YouTube playlist with all the episodes so far: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuZXszYGerWE3NzK99xEJDgwWpK-9uayp

The incredible guitarist Antoine Boyer and his excellent chromatic harmonica playing partner Yeore Kim have been doing some beautiful recordings together. Here's the latest example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg4cz8xzahU.  And here's their version of "Blackbird" from a few months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeozYRapAbs. Yeore was also recently featured on Neil Warren's podcast:
