From my gig at sofar sounds, another one of those next week on saxophone day(?), I got to work with and meet the guitarist from the this is america video by Childish Gambino. He hit me up last week to play in his band for a huge multi-million dollar commercial shoot. Got to get an 11hr day in working with some great LA musicians as well as live that premier film set life (steak and shrimp). Moving to Echo Park tomorrow, house number 3 since July, optimistic about it. A line from the Quincy Jones documentary has stuck with me since, “You got to learn to deal with the valleys, the mountains the peaks those are easy, its the valleys you gotta watch out for.” I don’t remember the full context I think he may have been quoting someone who told it to him but its good and needed perspective. Staying power.
