Inside the saxophone and the clarinet

For this 6th episode, I interviewed Seun Kuti, a mythic Afrobeat saxophonist and leader of the band Egypt 80! Together, we talked about his childhood, how he began saxophone and his first step in the group Egypt 80. But we also talk about his strong conviction and how he manages to use his music in politics. 

On this 5th episode, I interviewed two great musicians: Daro Behroozi and Rogerst Charles from the famous brass band Lucky Chops! Together we talked about how to run a music band, to grow its fame, to auto-produce an album, to tour and a lot of other things about music career.

On this 4th episode, I was really glad to interview the great Neal Sugarman, tenor sax player with the Dap-Kings (Sharon Jones, Amy Winehouse) and co-founder of the label Daptone Records (Lee Fields, Antibalas, Charles Bradley...). Together we dived into the world of music labels.
