  • Was playing the tune Boogie Shoes on a recent gig and the vocalist tapped me on the shoulder and told me to play half of a chorus. I had never played over this tune before so it was cool to get it on film! #shorts #musicianlife #saxophone

    it's always the extremely hard working and talented people like this who are humble and say "didn't embarass myself too bad"... while the people with no talent are arrogant. you nailed the solo, great job

    Play it loud and proud. If you fuck up, claim that too. Rip that shit like how you dance when no one is watching. Your sax has soul, but it needs you to give it all your heart. Never be afraid to be great when you get to shine.

    Bro did count bars while improvising and actively listening for others in the band.
    Maybe after lots of years it becomes as natural as walking, but for me is still like dark magic
