SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm a saxophonist brought up in the world of jazz, with a deep love for community-centric musical traditions like klezmer, bluegrass, and New Orleans jazz. I always have many songs in my heart, and a yearning for others to learn and play them with.

I'd love to join a group of musicians with similar backgrounds and play standards, rearrange pop tunes into different styles, and collaborate on original music.

Influences

I was a 90's kid. My first true love was punk rock and alternative music!

My education spent many years steeped in the traditions of bebop and straight ahead jazz. In college I branched out into klezmer music. These days I can hardly get enough bluegrass and other traditional sounds.

If there's one artist/group that epitomizes everything I love about music, right now it's Patrick Bartley and the J-Music Pocket Band.
