Guidance from Mark Taylor

Mark Taylor Luv the picture and the guidance from Mark at SeattleJazzScene. I’m gonna share this with my grandson the bass clarinet/bari sax player. Here’s just a taste of this goodness:

Someone once told me, “Nobody cares about your creativity or your original music”. Wrong.

When I was 14, I discovered Bird, Cannonball, and Phil Woods.

The saxophone is my voice.

If I could do it all over again, I’d be better at trusting my initial instincts more and just getting on with it!

Practice makes
no difference at all if you have no plan or goal.

When I look at where I’m at right now, I’m proud of the projects I’ve been a part of and grateful to the musicians who include me.

So back to shedding for me and my grandson. Can you tell we luv it!
