Hello.

Welcome to my simple, bland soundclick page. Nothing interesting yet, really, but I'll add stuff soon. For now, though, I've put a couple recordings on my . Enjoy.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

Currently playing with two different quartets throughout the south bay.

Your musical influences

For technique, I listen to an even combination of both jazz and blues artists: Sonny Rollins, Red Prysock, Benny Golson, King Curtis, Dexter Gordon, and Cannonball among others. I've been told I lay back on the beat like Dexter Gordon.

What equipment do you use?

Current tenor setup:
Selmer Mark VI (circa '62)
Selmer S80 / Meyer mouthpieces
Saxworks Wedge ligature (new from Saxworks!)
Vandoren Java (red box) reeds

Recent recordings made with a Zoom H2 audio recorder.

Anything else?

Let me know what I should add to this page, and I'll put it on here. Thanks!
