About Nathan Baugh
The exceptional jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins said:
“I start out playing things I know to get the blood flowing. Those things are often described as ‘clichés. ’ You begin with the cliché so you can get the process in motion. Once the process is in motion, ‘thinking’ gives way to ‘playing. ’ At that point, you get out of the way and let the music play. ”
That’s what storytelling feels like to me.
