LINER NOTES with David Bixler featuring Wayne Escoffery

In the summer of 2023 saxophonist Wayne
Escoffery found himself in Europe processing changes in
his personal life while at the same time nursing a broken finger
that prohibited him  from playing his horn. He used this
time of reflection to compose the music presented on his new
record Alone on Smoke Sessions
Records, which features pianist Gerald
Clayton, bassist Ron Carter, and
Carl Allen on drums. In this episode of
LINER NOTES Wayne speaks of the challenge of
creating something meaningful in a society that places a premium
on the immediate.
