Thanks for reviewing my page. I'm a vocalist and jazz trumpet player that plays a cross section of music from the 40's to present day tunes. My playlist is well over 150 different songs. In addition, many of the songs you will hear hear are written, recorded and performed by me.
I hope you enjoy my music
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I am formally trained in music at Northern Colorado University and have a degree from University of Pennsylvania. I had the dubious distinction of being one of the musicians who first performed MacArthur's Park in public (written by Hall of Fame writer Jimmy Webb).
Remember these Boots Are Made For Walking by Mrs. Miller? Yep, I performed with her onstage as well.
Did some studio recording work and played once at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play live at a reasonable rate
Your musical influences
Jimmy Webb, Maynard Ferguson, Doc Severinson, Herb Alpert, Al Hirt.
What equipment do you use?
Selmar Trumpet ( Al Hirt Model), Yamaha 10 inch speakers (250 watts apiece along with 300 watt mixer) and my IPOD with all my back tracks on it.
Anything else?
Just trying to make people happy and entertained.
