I'm psyched to have Greg Tardy as my guest on Notes. Greg is a wonderful saxophonist and clarinetist, a composer and recording artist. He has played, toured and recorded with some of the greats, Elvin Jones, Rashied Ali, Andrew Hill, to name just a few. He continues to work and play with a whole roster of our great contemporary improvising musicians, as well. He is on a couple of my favorite Andrew Hill recordings, which is how I first found out about him.
We had a great conversation. Greg has some really helpful and insightful things to say to aspiring musicians and veterans alike.
He has recently recorded with the Bill Frisell quartet, and he has a new recording under his own name, "Sufficient Grace".
I hope you'll check out his recordings and videos on his website.
I am available for online or in person study.
