Started playing 8yrs old in New York City. Started rhythm and blues band at 17. I am mostly self=taught, but attended Wagner College and City College for music study. I gigged all over town from the Village to East and West Harlem and the South Bronx, especially jazz, latin and funk. I have played clarinet,bass clarinte,oboe,acoustic bass, tenor,alto,soprano,baritone saxophones,flute, and some keyboard. Presently, I limit myself to alto, tenor saxophones, flute and vocals when I perform. I read, write and improvise quite well. Reach me at 941-623-2982.Visit my website: lesliedacostajr.bandvista.com
