The Jazz Lesson You Didn’t Ask For

When my wife and I have our morning coffee together, she will sometimes challenge me by playing an audio clip of a saxophone player or sometimes another jazz musician (trumpet, piano, etc) to see if I can guess who the musician is.

This leads to ‘The Jazz Lesson You Didn’t Ask For’ or in this case the Jazz Lesson that she did not ask for where I talk about the jazz history surrounding the musician or recording

I will be sharing posts with personal stories and some jazz history about jazz musicians as well as the occasional album or music recommendation.

Welcome to ‘The Jazz Lesson You Didn’t Ask For’

Join me as I recount the unforgettable experience of meeting jazz legend Sonny Rollins at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston. From his iconic performances to our brief encounter outside his limo, discover how this moment left a lasting impression on my journey as a saxophonist.
