Curtis Stigers - from Pop Star to Jazz Cat!

When he was young, Curtis Stigers was kept out of a youth quire by a woman who said he was "not a singer!" She sent him to play in band, where he learned clarinet and sax. He's been playing sax and fronting bands (as a vocalist!) for over 30 years now. Along the way he's sold a few million records, opened for people like Elton John and Eric Clapton and had a song on the 45-million selling Bodyguard soundtrack. Curtis's  new record, This Life, celebrates 30 years of making records. For episode 27 of the podcast Curtis and Mike talk about his career, the interesting people he's met,  why Curtis spends so much time (and is a very entertaining follow) on Twitter, and why he still calls his hometown Boise Idaho home even though his biggest following is in the UK. Mike's cat Olive also makes her podast debut! Plus, as always, good wine is sipped and discussed.
