This week I chat with rising-star jazz saxophonist in New York who was recently named one of NPR Jazz Night in America’s 30 under 30 Youngbloods, Sarah Hanahan. She’s performed with Mingus Big Band, Ulysses Owens Jr. and Generation Y, Joe Farnsworth, and more. We discuss being mentored by bassist Nat Reeves, transcribing and deep listening, playing melodically and how true learning comes from playing with the greats.
