For 82-Year-Old Jazz Saxophonist Gary Bartz, 'Music Is My Religion'
Briefly

"He was composing music at the highest level," Bartz says about McCoy Tyner, in whose band he played for many years.
Lyrics sung plainly by either Bartz or vocalist Andy Bey cover topics like Vietnam, life in the cosmos, conscientious objection to war, and being Black in America.
"When they asked Rakim where he got his flow, he said 'I got my flow from listening to John Coltrane.' So that should tell you something right there," Bartz explains.
