"So many professional musicians put down people who play bebop or stick to a certain kind of genre of language like you're not innovating, but I just think it's like a great writer doesn't need to invent a new language to express something new and different. I kind of look at it that way. Learn the language and then figure out how you want to use it to best express yourself."
That's Justin Kisor, Siouxland Public Media's Artist of the Month. He plays jazz live at the Blue Cafe on Fridays at 6 p.m. There is a $5 cover charge.
