Chris is joined by tenor sax player, composer and educator Dean Masser, to discuss his journey into jazz, reflections on improvisation, the influence of the great tenorists, really really listening to albums, and what it's like working on the UK scene.

Dean is one of the most in-demand tenor players in the UK and can be heard ('out of lockdown') in venues north and south of Watford! :-) He also teaches and supports the next generation of players.

Discover more about Dean, including how to book lessons and buy charts, at his website.

Dean's album recommendations include:

The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco (1959) released on Riverside
Go! by Dexter Gordon (1962) released on Blue Note
Newk's Time by Sonny Rollins (1959) released on Blue Note
