ABOUT

I am educated in painting but always played alto and tenor sax for
fun. I had some lessons with professionals, for tone, technique and
expression. I read to learn and digest, but am not a great sight reader. I would appreciate a low pressure encounter with a more advanced keyboard player grounded in jazz standards and/or latin

the blues tradition is the natural bottom line
