I love jazz because..it is THE ONLY native American art form and it's just ..........jazz. ...free........ improvisation. I was first exposed to jazz...in HS . I played trumpet. I became a professional musician studying for 8 years with Adolph Sandole, received BA Music from Rowan (aka Glassboro). worked in Vegas, Tahoe, Hawaii, Europe, and oh,....Goose Bay Labrador I met [musician name]...Freddie Hubbard, Roy Eldredge, played with Hank Mobley, shared the stage in a accompanying band for Maynard , Dizzy, Lew Tabackin, Urbie green The best show I ever attended was. Louie Belson Big Band .. The first jazz record I bought was.."Roulette Jazz Greats" featuring Clifford Brown (Cherokee), Charlie Parker (Confirmation), Stan Getz (Hershey Bar).and others. It inspired me to STUDY!! Transcribe, play, write (and get a degree). My advice to new listeners..learn to improvise in the scale not the chord.. Or whatever else you have in mind.

Live in North Central Jersey. Played much in NY and Harlem and the Village. I do not have a venue except to be hired to do one (Have CD)
