“…Hello! My name is Dustin Laurenzi.
I am a saxophonist and guitarist from the Southeastern Wisconsin area but I am now residing in Bloomington, Indiana (for most of the year) where I study jazz saxophone at Indiana University. At IU I have the privilege of working with jazz legend David Baker, Tom Walsh, Pat Harbison, Steve Houghton and more.
Currently, my main focus is jazz, ranging from early swing to hard bop, latin-jazz to fusion and everything in between…”

Don’t tell him that folk music is dead. Saying folk music is dead “is like saying people are dead. Nowadays if you’re washing dishes or mowing the lawn you might listen to and iPod, but when I was a kid we didn’t have that stuff. We had radio; we didn’t have television. We would sing while we were doing that stuff. In African culture everybody sings whatever work they’re doing. The work is lighter when you sing,” says David.
DHBD comes from a strong family tradition of music. His grandmother was a part of the Florentine Opera in Milwaukee. On Friday nights he would go with his brother and parents to a local bar for a fish fry. The boys would sit in a corner and watch as their parents danced. Their father sometimes played the accordion. Brought up during the John Wayne-era of real men don’t sing and dance, DHBD was raised to believe “Music is okay. Poetry is okay. Dancing is okay.” His family used to sing together at night. He remembers the first record they got was Harry Belafonte’s Christmas album.

T: Alright. Were the arts a part of your upbringing? Is that kind of how you got into it?
