Originally recorded under the podcast title/theme, "Jazz and Blues Affinity."
Ben Golder-Novick ("Ben the Sax Guy") talks about the opportunity to play with the Dave Matthews Band in Madison Square Garden. Ben also talks about his work with the Postmodern Jukebox and some of his jazz influenced projects currently available on Bandcamp. A theme we kept returning to in this episode is teamwork, and experiencing the synergy of confidence, creativity, and excellence in quality music performance.
