SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I'm a Louisiana-bred trumpeter with years of experience in a variety of bands from jazz and funk to orchestral ensembles and big bands. I just moved to the DFW area and I'm looking for my next great group to play with. I recently played in Denver, Colorado with The King Stan Band, a six-piece blues/rock/funk band. I also play freelance church and wedding gigs frequently and I just released an album of classical solo trumpet pieces.
I earned my Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from Tulane University in New Orleans, LA (I claimed the stage name "Dr. J" some years ago!) and my undergraduate degree from the University of Alabama (ROLL TIDE!!).
