“I think the majority of musicians are interested in truth... they’ve got to be because a thing, a musical thing, is a truth...all musicians are striving to get as near perfection as they can get. That’s truth there, you know. So in order to play those kind of things, to play truth, you’ve got to live with with as much truth as you possibly can...” -John Coltrane . It was Coltrane’s thoughts, ideas, and words, as much as his music, that inspired me to start this band and musical offering in 2017. I’m very excited to present this music live at the Barnsdall Theatre in LA on October 30th as part of the @angelcityjazz festival, together with @billychildspiano, @darekoles1, and @stixlabarbe. . The live album we recorded at @bluewhalemusic is up for consideration in this year’s Grammys - recording academy folks, it would mean a lot to get your ears on this music! The record is up for consideration in the instrumental arrangement and jazz categories. #wiseone #johncoltrane #celebratingthemusicofjohncoltrane #angelcityjazz #barnsdalltheatre #jazz #grammys #fyc #jazzalbum #livealbum #bluewhale #saxophone #tenorsaxophone #losangeles
