This episode of The Music Mind Podcast features San Diego, California based saxophonist Jason Whitmore.
Jason has been a full time professional saxophonist since graduating from university more than three decades ago. He has built a reputation as one of the pioneers of combining the saxophone with electronic dance music in live performances at clubs across the USA with leading DJs.
An extremely versatile player, he has built a large online following on Instagram where he performs jazz standards and upbeat arrangements of classic songs combining great video editing with authentic acoustic instrument performances.
For Jason, it is all about entertaining and putting himself in his audience's shoes.
This conversation covers a wide range of topics including the importance of developing your own sound, learning to play songs, using the best equipment to make playing easier, being able to traverse chord changes, simulating the role of a singer when playing sax, understanding the home recording and video studio environment and taking opportunities when they present themselves.
For the music collaboration on this episode, Jason chose a great standard from the 1960s titled 'Sunny'. The collaboration features Jason on alto saxophone with Brian Hayes on tenor saxophone.
