About Me

My Jazz Story

I love jazz because I have been given this gift not afforded to many. I was first exposed to jazz in college. I met David Baker at a summer jazz camp. The best show I ever attended was Michael Brecker at the Tennessee Theatre The first jazz record I bought was Charlie Parker. My advice to new listeners: You'll know it when you hear it. Obsess to practice. Life will always be too short.
