Ardeshir: "The music doesn't owe us anything."
Staying hungry to learn from mentors and friends, confronting the raw truth by recording yourself, & 2010s come-up stories

On the Rhythm Changes Podcast, Ardeshir Pourkeramati talks about meeting your heroes, staying hungry to learn more from mentors and friends in the music, practicing, confronting the raw truth of your playing by recording yourself, stories from coming up in the 2010s scene, and studying at the University of Oregon and the University of Southern Carolina's Thornton School of Music.
Ardeshir plays tonight (Saturday, Sep. 6) at Frankie's as part of the "Sonny-fest" billed as Vancouver Celebrates Sonny Rollins, where he'll play the music of Saxophone Colossus.
