Gary Bartz
From The Jazz Messengers to Maisha, a lifelong sax explorer tells his story
GARY Bartz laughs heartily when asked if he’s had the chance to play much during lockdown. “I play music all day long!” he retorts. “I don’t need an audience. Most of the musician’s work is done without an audience. No-one has ever, or will they ever, learn music. You can only study music, that’s all you can do.”
