For this Kansas City jazz musician, fragility is beautiful

Logan Richardson is recognized for his genre-bending approach to jazz and Black American music. In his latest album, 'Holy Water,’ his music continues to confront deep emotion.
Since leaving Kansas City more than 20 years ago, alto saxophonist, composer, and producer Logan Richardson has toured internationally, lived abroad and, most recently, released his sixth album as a bandleader. It's called "Holy Water."

The album is an extension of recent projects that have helped him share his inner self with the world, he told Up To Date's Steve Kraske on Wednesday.

“I've realized with age that wisdom is supposed to be the scapegoat for emotional fragility, meaning: Now that I'm older and wiser I don’t have any errors in my form," he said. "And we know that doesn’t work."
