I’ve been prostituting…

Prostituting at the Jacksonville Landing

Many of you know that I’m a saxophonist.  Primarily a jazz saxophonist.  Lately (the past several years) I’ve strayed away from the music that is the soul of my satisfaction.  Instead of staying true to what I love, I’ve been doing plenty of society gigs, weddings, receptions, parties, etc.  You know…nothing but pop covers.  The money has been good.  Really good.  But not at all satisfying. Kinda empty.  I’ve been a musical prostitute for a while now. Working about 75% of the time only for the money.  My heart has not been in it.

It’s time for that to change.

I’m going deep into the shed…you musicians out there know exactly what I mean.  Again focusing on my own music, my own sound.  I will no longer be a musical whore!  My good friend, pianist, producer and fellow blogger Ezekiel Haynes has also challenged me to do something else:  Complete two recording projects by December 31, 2008.

I am stepping up to the challenge and all music produced will be heard here first!  Stay tuned…
