Interview: Paul Carr
Musician, saxophonist, educator and Artistic Director of the Mid Atlantic Jazz Festival Paul Carr has always been an inspiration for me and countless others.
If he were just a jazz musician, he'd be on top of his game. But somewhere along the line, he defined himself as more than just a great player. He became a great educator, a great organizer and more. Here are some fabulous details that come out of our conversation:
Organic Growth - running a jazz camp developed out of his love for teaching students
Obstacles Create Opportunities - having trouble getting signed to a label? No problem! release your recordings independently!
If you have an idea, try it out! Nobody dies if it doesn't work! (hopefully?...)
The ideas from others can fuel your dreams
