  • Another Everything Saxophone podcast to save in the archives

    The recent interview with Jimmy Farace (#249) was so insightful. I’ve been listening for a while now but this is the first episode where I felt I needed to voice my appreciation for the show. I will definitely add this episode to my saved collection. I just got my first Baritone sax (yes a Bb) and I love playing ballads so this Jimmy Farace sounds like someone to check out. Plus he mentioned other artists that play melodically!

  • Mark Overton

    Thanks Donna, Mark and the Saxquest crew. I learned so much in this episode that I know I’m going to have to go back and listen several more times in preparation for part 2 (please). My favorite EP interview was Walt Weiskopf. His balancing of professionalism and pragmatism, artistry and method, seriousness and self deprecation, is a like a musical therapy session. Thanks again!
