ABOUT

Hi,

Thanks for checking out my profile. I'm currently studying bebop and latin jazz, but I have interest in a large variety of music. I just really love being part of a really tight band and doing everything in my power to propel the sound of the band forward. I'm comfortable comping lightly on my hollow body, shredding on my LP, or anywhere in between. I tend to play in bands that are kind of unusual and sort of on the heavy side of jazz/avant garde.

Let me know if you are interested
