Saxophonist Richard Howell’s latest release, Moon Over Tiburon, features family and friends bringing joy to his original and plain-spoken jazz compositions. Richard’s expansive sound comes from a surprising convergence of influences: “Let me put it this way. I am immersed in John Coltrane, I love the music of John Coltrane, I want to play like John Coltrane. But I always want to phrase like Ronald Isley, from the Isley Brothers – with a mixture of James Brown. With the Afro-polyrhythmic simplicity of James Brown.” Join Derek and Dave as they dance through the very cool world of composer and producer Richard Howell, on this episode of Deep into Jazz.
