Waltz for Bill
Air Apparent is a quartet featuring Carl Brown (trumpet and vocals), Armen Boyajian (piano), and George Sykes or Greg Alewine (bass) -- drum slot is currently open, was Erik Hargrove, now in Orlando...
Why this name?
since my last name is rather long and someone once said I was the heir apparent to Stephane Grappelli (a stretch!), Armen became Air and so on...
Do you play live?
Freelance in Augusta, GA see http://www.airapparentjazz.com for where
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
puts much more artistic control in hands of artists
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
does such a thing still exist? for jazz bands...
