Hello again and welcome to my newest blog entry! Lots of new things are happening here at SaxShed.com.
The forum is growing slowly and I invite everyone to stop by and get things going. There are lots of people with great ideas and questions that need answers. I welcome posts and inquiries and will try to answer as quickly as possible. I anticipate more of my colleagues in the saxophone and teaching word to stop in from time to time – so keep an eye out in the forum.
The biggest news is the EXCLUSIVE Tom Scott Interview found only here on SaxShed.com. As many have already discovered, many of my past interviews with Saxophone Journal are mirrored here. (with permission) Recently my internet and saxophone buddy Rich Godoy hooked up an interview with Tom Scott. It was my intention to have it published first in SJ and later here on SaxShed.com. Unfortunately, Tom was featured in SJ only a couple years ago and they chose not to run it at this time. Rather than let the great interview go unread, you can enjoy it here EXCLUSIVELY at SaxShed.com. Tom is a great guy and was very candid in this interview conducted the evening of the Grammy Awards only a few weeks ago.
Lastly, I was thrilled to receive a very nice email back from Michael Brecker. As many of you know Mike has been dealing with some serious health issues. I often get emails from readers asking if I know how he is doing. I contacted Mike to see if he would like to share anything to pass along. He is home and actually playing a bit of EWI and saxophone in his home studio as of the end of April 2006. Mike has agreed to an interview when he is feeling up to it. I plan to take him up on that! We all miss his voice and wish to see him stronger and in better health. God Bless You Mike and thanks for all the inspiration!
As always –
Stay well and play well.
