    130: The Moment That Changed Everything
    Apr 5 2026
    On this episode of The Jazz Flyte Podcast, I sit down with saxophonist Wayne Gutshall, and this conversation is a reminder that sometimes all it takes is one moment to change your life.

    Wayne takes me back to his early days in Miami, where his musical journey didn’t even start on the saxophone. His first love was bass, inspired by funk and groove, but everything shifted the day he was unexpectedly asked to step into jazz band. That moment turned into purpose, and from there, there was no turning back.

    We talk about the influence of mentors and why learning from greats is about more than technique. It is about presence, tone, and understanding what the music is supposed to feel like. Wayne shares how studying players like John Coltrane, Paul Desmond, and David Sanborn helped shape his approach, while still pushing him to develop a sound that is entirely his own.

    This conversation also dives into what it really takes to stay in the game. Wayne speaks honestly about commitment, discipline, and the internal drive required to choose music when other paths might feel easier or more stable. We talk about the difference between learning and becoming, and why imitation is only a step toward discovering your own voice.

    We also get into the reality of today’s music industry. From recording and production to streaming and collaboration, Wayne shares how he navigates a world that looks very different from the one before it. He opens up about balancing creativity with consistency, and the pressure that comes with continuing to release music at a high level.

    And then there’s the sound. Wayne describes his style as melodic with depth, blending traditional jazz language with contemporary expression. It is not about copying what came before. It is about honoring it while still moving forward.

    This episode is about more than jazz. It is about recognizing your moment, trusting your instincts, and committing to the path once you find it.

    129: Dee Lucas Explains What Artists Get Wrong About Ownership
    Mar 29 2026
    On this episode of The Jazz Flyte Podcast, I sit down with saxophonist Dee Lucas, and this conversation goes far beyond music. It is about identity, ownership, and the discipline it takes to build something that lasts.

    We start at the beginning, where Dee shares how his first love was actually bass guitar before discovering the saxophone in college. What drew him in was not just the sound, but the voice of the instrument. That connection led him down a path shaped by the influence of George Howard and Grover Washington Jr., artists who didn’t just play music, they created a signature sound you could recognize in seconds.

    Dee breaks down what makes the saxophone such a demanding instrument, from breath control to discipline, and why mastering it is more about consistency than talent. We also get into the ongoing conversation about what defines jazz, and why, at its core, it is all connected.

    One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is Dee’s decision to build his own record label. He explains why ownership mattered to him from the very beginning, how he navigated the shift from physical CDs to streaming, and why he refuses to leave money or opportunity on the table. This is a real look at what it takes to be both an artist and an entrepreneur in today’s music industry.

    We also talk about time management, creativity, and how he continues to evolve after more than a decade of projects. With over 11 releases and counting, Dee shares how he stays inspired, how he revisits past work, and why growth is not optional if you want longevity.

    This episode is not just about jazz. It is about building something that reflects who you are and having the discipline to stand on it.

    128: From First Record to 13 Projects
    Mar 22 2026
    After more than a dozen projects and a catalog that spans over a hundred songs, what keeps the creativity alive? On this episode of The Jazz Flyte Podcast, I sit down with saxophonist Paul Taylor to explore what it really means to evolve as an artist while staying true to your sound.

    Paul joins me to talk about his latest release and why he describes it as the start of a new cycle. We dive into how each project represents a different chapter of his life, shaped by growth, experience, and a renewed sense of optimism. His latest work, anchored by the title track It’s a Brand New Day, reflects that mindset with music that feels both fresh and deeply rooted in his journey.

    We talk about the creative process behind building an album, from finding inspiration in everyday moments to knowing when a song feels right on the instrument. Paul shares how his influences, from artists like David Sanborn and Ronnie Laws to groups like Earth, Wind and Fire and War, continue to shape his sound even today. He also opens up about the importance of loving the music you create and why that passion is the key to longevity.

    Our conversation also touches on his experiences working alongside legendary artists, including Maurice White, and the lessons he learned in those moments. From quiet guidance in the studio to understanding the humanity behind the music, those experiences helped shape the artist he is today.
    We also explore how Paul approaches covering songs, including his interpretation of a Billie Eilish track, and what it takes for a melody to translate onto the saxophone. It’s a fascinating look at how musicians hear and reinterpret music in their own voice.

    This episode is about more than just music. It’s about discipline, evolution, and waking up every day with the mindset that you still have something new to say.
