Virginia MacDonald is an award-winning Canadian jazz clarinet player. In our first episode, Virginia shares her wisdom on improvisation, discusses the healing power of music and demonstrates how she captures the human voice in her playing.
The Jazz Mind Podcast explores innovation, improvisation and risk-taking through the lens of jazz music and aims to surface ideas and insights that can be applied to non-musical pursuits. Special thanks to Startwell.co for allowing us to record this episode in their amazing studio.
