I met a trio of students playing brass instruments at Union Square, and jammed with them. Of course I asked them my favorite question. They don't have a name for their group yet, just the desire to get out there and play and make a difference in the world.
What inspires Anna, William and Juan?
Richie Kaye and Tony Lavorgna came to play after my set in the Graybar corridor of Grand Central and we chatted about their inspirations. Paul stopped to listen as he was leaving his shift working in the Graybar building, and he shared how Richie and Tony's music inspires him. A sound which can bring you right back to another time and place.
