My Jazz Story

I love jazz because... I started playing professionally when I was 17 yrs old. I love making music, you're kind of a " jazzy " drummer..I've heard more times than I can count. I have my own band, I've been a band leader more often than not as I usually have my own band. I'm working on The Constellations Jazz Orchestra - 88 Modern Constellations at this time and have 5 out and 83 more to go! :)
