Going to see Branford tonight!

Tonight, Branford Marsalis is playing with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and I am headed there to check it out! Branford Marsalis is one of the leading saxophonists of our generation. I have loved and admired his playing for years. He can play in seemingly every style, from classical (tonight he is playing, among other things, the Glazanouv Saxophone Concerto, which is one of my favorite works for saxophone) to straight-ahead jazz, to funk, to rock with Sting! That's the kind of musician I aspire to be! The concerto that he is playing tonight is lovely! I had the opportunity to learn it and play it in undergrad. Rare is the time when a saxophonist can attend the symphony and have played the concerto is on the bill!
