David Sanborn in conversation with the extraordinary saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins, a fresh voice with a sound and perspective well beyond his years. Immanuel talks about how growing up around the older musicians in Philly who influenced him, playing music in the church, and the two of them bond over their love of the word "sprezzatura," the art of making something difficult look easy.
Saxophonist David Sanborn has always been curious, especially when it comes to the creative process. His new podcast, As We Speak, gives him the opportunity to sit down with some of the most creative minds in the arts to talk about their unique creative process and much more. David's guests for Season One include Kurt Elling, Cecile McLorin Salvant, Don Was, Terri Lyne Carrington, Maria Schneider, John McLaughlin, Immanuel Wilkins, and a two-part, exclusive talk with his idol, Sonny Rollins. As We Speak is a production of WBGO Studios.
