Better Sax Podcast

https://jasonmarshalljazz.com

My guest today is one of the top baritone saxophonists on the music scene today, Jason Marshall. In our conversation we discuss the process of making his latest album New Beginnings, which is fantastic, his big band arrangement that failed in grad school, but was later recorded by Roy Hargrove, healthy keys for the baritone saxophone, how he warms up with ballads and why you do not need to have a vintage horn.
