Saxophonist John Coltrane brought a new voice to jazz--a voice that nobody had ever heard before, and many weren't certain how to listen to. In this episode, I reflect on what it means to find one's own voice through the saxophone. I discuss Coltrane's process of finding his voice and remaining true to it, even when that wasn't a popular choice with audiences and critics. I also speak with Tucson-based saxophonist Erik Armstrong about his experience of finding his voice through the saxophone.
