David Sanborn – HuffPost 11.8.13

Mike Ragogna: …how do you feel about that thing called “jazz”? What would you have the meaning be?

David Sanborn: Thank God I don’t control it. I think it’s going to follow its own voice. My wish would be that everybody was free of those kinds of self-loathing ways of thinking about how they can’t do something because it’s not “this.” Just do what you’re going to do. Write a polka if that’s what feels right to you. Just write. Just make music that feels right.

MR: That’s beautiful. That also fills a bit for my usual question, “What advice do you have for new artists?”

DS: Follow your instinct, follow your heart.
