Jazz maestro David Gomes has been on the music scene for the better part of 30 years. The veteran pianist only recently decided to release his debut album, hoping to spread the joys of jazz to a larger audience. He discusses the perks of performing and why it took so long to put his music out there.

PS: The name he was struggling to remember at the end, it was Ernie Watts.
