Jazz Is An Idea That Is More

Listening Is The Key To Everything Good In Music.

My Older Brother Mike Is An Excellent Trumpet Player. By The Time He Was 12, He Was Playing Around Kansas City In Classical Situations. He Was Already An Amazing Talent.

I Met Gary (burton) At The Wichita Jazz Festival When I Was 18 -- He Was One Of My Favorite Musicians And I Got To Play A Few Tunes With Him There. Shortly After That, I Joined His Band, Which Was The Equivalent Of Joining The Beatles For Me! He Was, And Still Is, One Of The Greatest Musicians I Have Ever Been Lucky Enough To Be Around.

Jazz Music Will Continue To Thrive, Possibly In Unexpected Ways.

I Love Playing And Working On Music. It Is Something That I Feel Really Lucky To Be Able To Spend My Life Doing. And I Don't Sleep Much!
