Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with New Orleans Saxophonist & Composer James Martin .. He explained the story behind his latest 2019 CD Keep Movin’- And got into how his music roots extend to his earliest years spent visiting his grandparents’ home in New Orleans. There he found an authentic alternative to the musically inspired toys and plastic replicas of instruments his parents had lovingly given him…in his grandparents’ organ. He managed to teach himself his first song—“When the Saints Go Marching In,” and that was a gateway to music .. a pawn shop guitar and then the saxophone .. He spent seven years playing with Trombone Shorty and then decided to pursue a solo career .. He’s got great stories and you can hear them all here .. So dig it .. Click to listen.
