Episode 53: Hanging With James Morrison

My guest for this episode is James Morrison.

James is a true renaissance man. A virtuoso trumpet player, he can play blazing jazz and burning lead. But he is also equally at home on trombone, saxophone, piano, and bass. Never one to do things in a small way, James has also founded a university program, designed a studio, and is a pilot, sailor, and professional driver as well. And his approach to music and life is at a whole nother level.

Check out what James has to say about why he doesn't play the drums, his practical approach to teaching music, the power of passion, making an ally with your instrument, his mental approach on how to play high notes, how he chooses what instrument to play, the James Morrison Academy of Music, a great life lesson, you don't need to know how to do it to do it, music comes through you, polishing the diamond, being completely in the moment, how to choose the right gear, and so much more!

So pour yourself a big glass, pull up a chair, and let the hang begin!
