In Conversation with Saxophonist Antonio Hart

If you want to learn the best information, always go to the elders.  It’s something I’ve always tried to do and every time I do, I always learn something new and this was no exception.  I had the privilege of speaking with the legendary Antonio Hart.

His 1997 release, ‘Here I Stand’ Impulse records, earned Hart a 1997 Grammy nomination for ‘Best Jazz Instrumental Solo’. He has also been in much demand as a guest on over 100 recordings. Since then, Hart has recorded eight CDs as a leader.

To label him as just an amazing saxophonist and musician would not encompass his entire essence so I think it’s best to just say he is an amazing human being!  From his early days in Baltimore to making his mark in the big apple and his personal growth through his love for martial arts, he’s had quite the journey thus far and he’s still going strong.  And the amount of knowledge dropped in this interview is not to be missed so be sure to check it out!!
