  • Henley Douglas Jr (Saxophone, improvisation, Boston music scene) - Episode 5
    Mar 7 2023

    This episode features Henley Douglas Jr. Henley is an incredible saxophone player, band leader, and composer from Massachusetts. In addition to his musical accomplishments, Henley serves as an honorary patriarch for many players in the Boston music scene. As a young bass player, Henley gave me many opportunities to be on stage with him and his incredible band. He has recently started SOSS records. Make sure you check out his music at HDRNB.com.

    *CORRECTION* In the episode we referred to the first song as TNT and the final song as Amore's Prayer. The first song is actually Amore's Prayer and the final song is TNT.
