My Jazz Story

I love jazz, and I always have. I started playing professionally when I was 17 yrs old. I actually played pro the first time before I had a driver's license. The music for Dames At Sea at the Bing Theater at USC. Jazz, I love it and I love performing live music. I created The Constellations Jazz Orchestra and The 88 Modern Constellations project. I'm releasing 88 works named for each of the Constellations. I don't play live much anymore. I can't seem to get it together. So I'm focusing on studio work. -- Walk in Peace my friends.
