Home Page: A synopsis of my musical direction, and samples of live improvisation.

My instrument is the trumpet. The genre is jazz.

Don Ferrara, the master teacher of jazz improvisation, has mentored me in the art of playing jazz trumpet.

I am indebted to both the beautiful melodic improvisers, and the intense swinging players. Lester Young and Chet Baker have influenced me with their remarkable lyricism, and Roy Eldridge and Zoot Sims with their extraordinary time.
