Yet it was far from an uneventful year for the alto saxophonist, recording artist, and music educator, who released not only a live album, but also a book series in 2020. Despite the eerie silence of 2020 (especially regarding cancelled celebrations for Charlie Parker's much-anticipated 100th birthday), each project is an exercise in raising joyful noise despite the circumstances. The series currently has six different instrument editions- alto sax, tenor sax, trumpet, trombone, flute and clarinet - so it's a pretty involved recording process (a piano/guitar edition will be released this summer). [...]I chose Trane and Freddie Hubbard, both of which were leaders of the hard bop movement before moving on to incredible things, and then two hugely important hard bop groups; The Jazz Messengers and Horace Silver's quintet.
