In an ever-changing music industry, where songs are produced and consumed at an insatiable pace, the creative role of musicians and songwriters often remains overlooked.

According to Trevor Lawrence, a legendary producer and saxophonist who's worked with the likes of Marvin Gaye, Etta James, and the Pointer Sisters, the art of creating a song might appear as simple as learning your ABCs, but in close inspection, it entails an entire process of understanding scales and structures, storytelling and originality in musicianship.

In this bonus episode, Lawrence shares his experiences learning from his mentor Sol Moore (Dizzy Gillespie, Les Hite and His Orchestra) and his thoughts on how memorable music gets made.
