What I learned at Berklee – Bob Reynolds

Bob Reynolds – A Saxophone Hero

My guest today is someone I would call a “saxophone hero.”

Bob Reynolds always manages to do more than should be humanly possible, and always at the very highest level. He is a prolific jazz recording artist with a number of albums to his name. He is also a long-time member of the Grammy-award winning band Snarky Puppy.

He’s got a fantastic YouTube channel that will appeal to anyone who also follows BetterSax. PLUS – he’s also about to launch his first European tour since his last one that landed right in the middle of the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic.

There are multiple moments in this interview that I consider revelatory, the sort of ideas that you could frame and hang on your wall for a constant reminder or inspiration.

Whether you’re a saxophone player or not, I think you’re going to enjoy this conversation with Bob Reynolds
