James Danderfer just hosted me on his Instagram Live show, Monday Midday Live; James is an established woodwind player and educator in Vancouver. With his permission, I bring you the conversation we had there.

James has an upcoming show with the Vancouver Jazz Orchestra on Sunday, December 4th at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. They'll play the music of Thad Jones, featuring Jeremy Pelt; find tickets here.
