Life Lessons from the Horn is collection of compelling essays revealing saxophonist Sam Newsome's unique insights as an artist, educator, and jazz musician of the 21st Century. Mr. Newsome, who teaches jazz studies at LIU Brooklyn, brings to each chapter, decades of experience as an important figure on the New York jazz scene as well as his numerous years as educator in the classroom.
