Podcast Of The Week: Branford Marsalis On Life, Learning, And Pushing Boundaries

Branford Marsalis, the legendary sax player, composer, and improviser, sat down with Questlove on the Questlove Supreme podcast for what has to be one of my favorite interviews of the year. They cover: the harm stubborn nostalgia can bring, how to approach challenging music (or ideas), the value of critics and how to handle them, and a whole ton of life stories from his genre-exploring career. Even if you’re not a musician, this is an outstanding conversation.
