For today’s post, I’m giving myself a break and connecting you with a guest post that I wrote for my co-conspirator in saxophonistic mayhem, Neal Battaglia. When Neal invited me to write an article for his topnotch blog site, Sax Station, I cast about for a bit and came up with a post titled “Connecting Technique to Expressive Improvisation.” After reading what I’d written, I mildly lamented the fact that I wasn’t posting it on my own blog, but I’m honored that it’s on Neal’s.

I hope you enjoy the read. And don’t stop with my article. Check out the rest of Neal’s site, because there’s a lot of really good stuff on Sax Station! Also, keep an eye out for a reciprocal post by Neal here on Stormhorn.com. I love featuring guest posts, and while Neal is less long-winded than I am, he offers some very worthwhile insights.
