Musician @jibsaeed
What does the word music mean to you? Music means everything to me. It defines me and I’d even go as far as saying it’s had a major influence on the way that I think. How would you define your style of music? My style of music - without sounding condescending - is sophisticated, relaxed, intricate and ultimately, paradoxical.
weekend | Fashion saxophone, I decided to go with it and I’ve stuck to it ever since. What’s your music philosophy? Honestly, I’ve never really thought about it. I guess with time and experience I’ll develop a more concrete philosophy of what music is to me. Nevertheless, I think it’s important to touch on all forms of music to see what touches your soul. I may not listen to what most people listen to, but if their music touches their soul and they subsequently enjoy it

What inspired you to play the saxophone? I actually had a number of inspirations/ motivations. When I was little I remember my father bought me a replica Sax toy to fool around with. My father also always wanted to learn so he had a couple of saxophones lying around. But I feel what had the most impact was the fact that my parents had met a saxophonist I grew up listening to. After years of experimenting with different instruments, once I had the opportunity to pick up the

then that’s all that matters. But as I mentioned before, my current perception is subject to change over time.

Who are some of your favourite artists/People that you look up to? Herbie Hancock, Neil Evans, Eric Krasno, David Sanborn, Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten, Steve Gadd, George Benson, Dexter Gordon, Art Blakey, James Brown, Jamiroquai, ugh the list goes on! In what ways do you think the Pakistani Music industry needs to evolve? I think the Pakistani music industry needs to begin incorporating other styles into its music. Unfortunately, at least from what I gather, the last decade or so has been regurgitating the same mix of sufi rock and metal. I am delighted though that, as of late, a number of underground bands are attempting to break this mold and give our audiences something new. But it’s not just about the performers. Our audiences need to educate themselves - or rather, expose
themselves - to various styles of music. Tell us about your creative process? I’ve never really kept tabs on it. I play what I feel. Unfortunately though, sometimes what I feel is too advanced for me to physically execute! But hopefully with time and practice I’ll get there. If you could describe your personality with a song, what would it be? And why? Chameleon by Herbie Hancock. For me the song is like a story told in 15 minutes. There’s a ton of groove, there’s a bit of kookiness and then there’s an elongated, relaxed section in the song. I’d say those are three defining aspects of my own personality. If you could perform with anyone in the world, who would it be? Oh my. Umm, I’d have to say Herbie Hancock. He’s played with so many varied artists and he’s also left a lasting impression on the world of music.

In a first in the country’s history, Thari women will be employed to drive dumper trucks at the Thar coalfields.
