For all of you who were not able to make the Soprano Summit/Steve Lacy Tribute at Michiko studios last night, you can check it out here. I'm not sure how long it will be available, so I suggest watching it sooner and than later. There was a lot of inspired music that night.
I had a great time playing with Dave Liebman, soprano sax; Heath Watts, soprano sax; Matt Engle, bass; and Michael Szekely, drums. And kudos to Patrick McGhee for sitting in on soprano. One of Dave's "best students."
This blog is a space for sharing my reflections on music, creativity, life, and politics—a way to connect with fellow saxophonists, musicians, and thoughtful explorers of life. Join me as we delve into the art of sound, the nuances of expression, and the broader world around us.
