SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I'm a versatile musician with a background in a variety of instruments and styles. Saxophone is my primary instrument, and I'm classically trained (through college) with plenty of experience in jazz and rock.
I also play piano, bass guitar, clarinet, and various other instruments to a lesser degree. Vocally I am a baritone; I've sung both bass and tenor in classical choirs, baritone in barbershop quartets and jazz choirs, and some background vocals in rock bands.
In addition, I compose music, with an emphasis on classical chamber. I've done a lot of work for saxophone quartet, as well as a variety of other instrumental and vocal ensembles.
NOTE: The only reason I did not select "Very Committed" is that I have a wife and 2 young children. I would love to be able to commit indefinitely to a project, but the family trumps any extra endeavors. :)
