"Welcome: This website is a way for me to share some of my music and my thoughts about jazz education. There are audio clips and videos that you might enjoy. Check them out, if you have a moment. I retired in 2019 after teaching jazz at colleges and universities for 40 years. I have been trying to play jazz for over 50 years, still practicing and learning every day. During all this time I have had opportunities to make music with some truly wonderful musicians; some that are famous and some that are not. I have also been blessed to work with hundreds if not thousands of terrific students. Each experience has helped become a better player and a better teacher and it seems like I discover something new each day. It's an exciting time for jazz music and jazz education, albeit a bit confusing."
