Description
Kurt Heisig is a multi-instrumentalist, educator, and instrument craftsman whose musical background reflects generations of family musicianship and artisanry. In the interview, he traces his training through influential classical and jazz traditions, including saxophonists Sigurd Rascher and Marcel Mule, the French Flute School, and musicians associated with the Stan Kenton Band. He also reflects on teaching, conducting, and preserving musical knowledge through direct relationships between generations of performers and educators. His experience as owner of Kurt Heisig Music business in Monterey and Pacific Grove and his connections to the Bay Area music community illustrate the transmission of jazz, classical, and wind-band traditions across California.
