Vlog #25 To make a living, get a life

You’re naturally focused on starting a career in music. Have a life outside music, develop secondary interests, and encounter new ideas. Work that expresses who you are comes out of the unique experiences that you cultivate for yourself, and those experiences are richest when they are wide-ranging.

Vblog #25 – Gil Evans

For the past three years I’ve had the privilege to work with Ryan Truesdell unearthing and discovering some of the forgotten music of Gil Evans. We will travel to Perugia, Italy to play in the Umbria Jazz Fest to present all of our hard work!
