S02 - E19: "Artistic Intention, Personal Style & Hip Hop" with Greg Osby

This week, I chat with saxophonist, composer, producer, educator, and curator, Greg Osby, who has been a dominant force in the music scene for nearly four decades. He is an esteemed part of the improvising musician community and his unique approach to composition and performance has earned him acclaim and awards, and he's regarded as one of the “most provocative musical thinkers of his generation” by The New York Times. We discuss how funk, soul, R&B and hip hop influenced his artistic voice, developing artistic intention and being a good steward of the cultural and historical significance of the music you play.
