  • 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!

  • Very interesting and a well informed host.

    Who knew we needed another saxophone podcast?

    Donna is a great host who is very well informed and hip for someone who is young, well informed, smart, and passionate. Her interview with Demsey regarding the Michael Brecker Notebook publication was fascinating, even in audio. I’m looking forward to watching the video version, next.
