JPA's past works and experiments
I'll just post a random selection of past live events that I recorded, nothing recent and only rarely will I put up one of my original songs. Don't expect everything/anything to have that great of sound quality, it's hard if there's an audience, especially since the mic is usually in it.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Well, I'm on bass... the rest changes depending on what recordings I'm using. Started playing electric in eighth grade, began transferring those skills to upright in the second semester of my junior year in high school on the schools bass. Bought my own that summer and got accepted into SUNY Purchase that April, majoring in Jazz Performance on Upright Bass. Through that time, I've played with a lot of people and made a bunch of contacts, a few of them showing up in the recordings I post.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Currently displaced in more ways than one, so live performances will probably be few and far between for some time.
Your musical influences
Too many to list, my collection of artists is fairly expansive.
