Musings with Suprano Saxophonist

I sat down with Suprano Saxophonist and composer Phil Scarff at his residence in Winchester, MA to chat about his musical journey. I am sure you will enjoy listening to this wonderful artist share his story on how he came to appreciate Indian classical music (Also see his favorite Bhairavi rendition in the video below).

In my interview Phil talks about his band’s (Natraj) latest album “Song of the Swan”. A song from the album is also played in the beginning and at the end of the audio interview. In Phil’s own words, “The moment music stops evolving, music is going to die”. Among his key influencers were Maynard Ferguson, Warren Senders, Peter Rowe, and Pt. Shreeram Devasthali, to mention a few.
