This (updated) version of a podcast conversation with David Arteaga includes more of his music. The conversation took place before the Coronavirus broke out but certainly addresses some key principles of living woven in and through his original music. Arteaga is well versed in philosophy, classical music, jazz, and art of all kinds. He plays and composes music the way he lives – with generosity, integrity, honesty, and a sense of purpose. He believes “art has a central role in bringing people back to a recollection of why we are even here sharing this tiny little planet.” David Arteaga is a saxophonist, composer, and arranger. He leads the David Arteaga Quartet and runs the Sunday-Nite Jazz Jam Sessions that he founded in 2014. In 2017 David Arteaga recorded “Picture,” a CD of original jazz compositions he performs with Max Ridley, Plamen Karadonev, and Dave Fox, members of his David Arteaga Quartet. All music excerpts in this podcast are from the David Arteaga Quartet CD "Picture" performed by Max Ridley
