His work on the saxophone transcended mere notes and melodies, speaking directly to the soul and igniting a passion for music in those who listened. His contributions to the genre have set a standard of excellence that aspiring saxophonists will continue to strive for, ensuring his legacy lives on.As we mourn the loss of this extraordinary artist, we also celebrate his remarkable life and the incredible impact he had on the world of music. David Sanborn's legacy will continue to resonate through the countless lives he touched with his music, his innovative spirit, and his unwavering dedication to his craft.

Marsmetic is an exhilarating duo, skillfully fusing jazz, r&b, reggae, rock, and Motown into timeless, groove-laden compositions. The dynamic synergy between Howard Anderson and Callum Paterson is palpable, as they meld their artistry to craft an authentic musical journey replete with delight and unexpected twists. While drawing inspiration from Motown's classic themes of intricate love, Marsmetic's evocative songbook boldly addresses the complexities of romance in the age of the climate crisis.

The arrival of joy is not marked by a grand entran

The arrival of joy is not marked by a grand entrance, nor does it come draped in the luxuries of a flawless existence.

Rather, joy creeps in quietly as you prepare a cup of coffee and bask in the sun's warm glow on your favorite tree.

Despite its unannounced arrival, you may push joy away if you feel unprepared to receive it. Perhaps your dwelling is not up to par for such a prestigious guest.

Yet, joy pays no heed to your cluttered abode, your bank account balance, or your physical appearance.

In fact, joy is meant to infiltrate the imperfections of your life, as that is precisely how it operates. You cannot beckon joy to appear, only be ready to receive it with open arms and embrace it wholeheartedly.

For in that precious moment, joy embraced you!

Last night was lit! I had the pleasure of performing with two incredible musicians, Frankie and Raphael, at the stunning Wall Centre. As a musician, you never know what to expect when you get called up for a gig. But boy, did this one deliver!

Playing with pros is an absolute joy, and that's exactly what Frankie and Raphael brought to the table. From the very first note, it was clear that this was going to be something special. The chemistry was undeniable, and the music just flowed effortlessly.

The crowd was loving every minute of it, and we could feel the energy in the room building with every song we played.

It's nights like these that remind me why I got into music in the first place. The thrill of live performance, the rush of creating something amazing with other musicians, and the sheer joy of making people happy with our music.

Thank you, @frankiethemusician and @raph.geronimo, for a cool, memorable experience. Let's do it again soon!

Chiming in to say: "House concerts are lit!". Thes

Chiming in to say: "House concerts are lit!". These last couple of weeks in Ajijic were filled with unforgettable experiences (musical and otherwise). Here I am at a special Mardi Gras house concert for an amazing group! Sharing my music with an intimate and engaged audience was an incredible gift.

No concert hall can offer the connection you get with a live audience at house concerts. That connection is why I love performing at these events! If you think you would like to host a live music event like this, get in touch with me!

On another note, Monday's Santana Maz centro show at Patio Escobedo is Sold Out! However, at the moment, there is still space for Friday's show at Balché in the Golden Zone. Contact the venue directly for tickets!

It'll be fun. Looking forward to seeing you there!
