About Me
The Jazz Life
After becoming professional at age 11 in New York City, I recorded with great players like Jimmy Knepper, Kenny Washington, Loren Schoenberg, Drew Francis, Jay Leonhart, Ronnie Bedford, Howard Hodge, Dud Bascombe Jr, George Young, Santo “Sonny” Russo, Jerry Kale and Vaughn DeForest. After I moved to Virginia for the bicentennial in 1976, I recorded with Joel Futterman, Russell Scarborough, Steve Wilson, James Genus, Al Waters, Paul Renz, Terry Burrell and Howard Curtis plus I played at the Jazz & Heritage Festival in New Orleans with Ellis Marsalis. After receiving a Music Performance degree with a minor in Jazz Studies from VCU in 1985, I recorded with Roger Carroll & Chez Roue, Steve Young & The Band of Steve's, Alan Parker and Flyin' Brian Sulser, Emme St James & Her Jazz Gentlemen plus Steve Bassett and his Mystic Soul Bubbas. Was involved with the rehearsals and productions for a Grammy Award nominated Central Virginia Jazz Orchestra titled “James River Jazz” and subsequent albums. Now I am promoting and recording the Central VA Jazz Orchestra plus my own “Jazz Warriors” and my “Derby Day Dixieland Jazz Band.” Produced 2 “Record Time” albums in 2024 to be released in 2025. The first features Royce Campbell on guitar plus Bob Bowen on bass and Aaron Binder on drums. The second features John Toomey on piano plus Jimmy Masters on bass and Jeff Schortgen on drums.
