Toshiko Akiyoshi on her composing inspiration
In my interview with the great pianist, composer, and bandleader, Toshiko Akyoshi, I ask what her motivation is for her writing.
In this excerpt, she spoke of her motivation to make commentary on the state of the world and how that has lead to certain pieces and albums.
I then asked my AI Jazz Master Chat what other sources of motivation a composer might use as Toshiko did. I offered some interesting ideas to help with the inspiration for composing.
