Background

In addition to Alto Sax and Kazoo, I now play Soprano Sax as well. I also attempt to sing in English and Spanish. 

I am leader of a band under my name that throws down some jazz (mostly standards), R+B, Latin standards, salsa, reggae, rock, whatever the people want (and mostly demand).  I also have a trio that does mostly jazz and latin standards.  And lastly I have a solo gig under a number of bridges around town.  You can find me with my saxophone case open (Sorry, I can't make change). 

Location

Houston, TX

Occupation

Screenwriter/Producer / Superhero (Part Time)

Music That Inspires Me

My teachers and bandleaders I had the pleasure of studying with and learning from. First and foremost, Prof. Conrad Johnson who took me on as a student for next to nothing. John Goode, Roberto Zenteno, and Big Otis Porchia, Ray Turull, and countless others.
