In 2019, Ali and Adrian called me to see if I would be interested in doing a concert in Los Angeles. [After the show] they said, “You should come by and check our studio out.” They have an allanalogue studio, it’s just like the studio we recorded Music Is My Sanctuary in. So I loved the studio, and they said, “Well, we’ve got some tracks you might like to play on.” I liked what they did and we ended up recording. It kinda reminded me of doing the Donald Byrd records as the tracks were already there and I just had to compose my solos. And I say compose, because improvisation is not what we do! We’re not making things up. A monkey can take a saxophone and throw it against a wall – that’s an improvisation! But a monkey can’t play the saxophone. Every time I take a solo I have a plan, but the plan changes from night to night.
