My Jazz Story

From an early age I learned that jazz was my favorite music. I come from a musical family. My mother was a piano major in college and in her teens was giving parlor performances of the classics. My siblings and I grew up in a household filled with music; my mother playing the parlor grand piano that was always in our living room; music being played on the Hi-Fi; we were all given cursory piano lessons by our mother. We all started played instruments in grade school... my sister on flute, my older brother on trumpet, me on trombone, my younger brothers on clarinet and trombone. My older sibs and I went on to be first-chair players in band and played professionally after school. I have played in bands, composed my own compositions. I worked for 35 years producing live events in five continents for major pharma clients, worked or produced/directed music videos and done lots of other things. I am now happily retired from the big job and getting back to all my postponed projects.
