Episode notes
Host Adam Meckler talks with Trumpeter/Composer/Educator/Touring Artist Kris Johnson about his time touring with the Count Basie Orchestra, why he left his University gig to come back to Detroit, and how he's building passive income through online educational content. Kris offers his "Big 3" of being a musician, and how he landed a gig doing the score for a web series. Kris and Adam also unpack the term "Jazz" and discuss the recent use of Black American Music (or BAM) in its place. And of course, they talk a little trumpet.
