Sometimes I Try To Lose My Identity,

The Unity Band Project Has Been Life-changing For Me. I Have Led Many Groups Of Talented Musicians, But This Is Unlike Anything Else.

Avant-garde, Jazz, Pop, Classical, Country And Western, Rock, Free, Straight-ahead, Etc. Are Ultimately Meaningless Terms In The Face Of The Music Being Discussed At Best - At Worst, Those Terms Often Serve As Code Words For What Is In Fact A Cultural / Political Discussion More Than A Musical One.

I Was Deep In The Zone Of Practicing Almost Constantly

Whatever My Recorded Output Is, It's A Reflection Of A General Love Of 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.
