began playing Violin in the school orchestra from 6th grade to the 9th.
while in high school, he furthered his musical abilities, by participating
in the school choir. In 1969, he began teaching himself all aspects of the
Guitar. By 1970, he had started his first Rock band and began gigging.
After playing in the early 70's with various different Rock bands, he left
the music scene to raise a family! During that period, he began to take
more of an interest in one of his old loves, Jazz! Drenching himself in
music from some very expressive, impressive, soulful and heart wrenching
Jazz Artists like, Al Jarreau, Spyro Gyro, Pat Metheny, Diane shur, and
any Jazz Artist that brought out deep emotion within him, he began writing
and poring all his emotions and feelings into his own music. In 1997, he
and one of his fellow musicians from one of his early Rock bands put
together and released a Rock CD single. This enabled him, not only to
reinvent himself on the keyboards, but to pursue his long time dream of
releasing his first "Smooth Jazz" CD, "Street Dreams"
in 2001. In 2002, he has now been privileged to release his second
"Smooth Jazz" CD entitled, "Up Beat On The Down side".
"To me, Jazz is the most expressive form of music on the planet. Not
only is it entertaining, it reaches the very deepest seat of emotion that
any human being can possibly feel. It can calm you down like a slight
breeze on a sunny afternoon. It can pick you up and soar you through the
universe with great speed and accuracy, and bring you back a completely
changed individual, with a new perspective and appreciation for what
really matters in this life, feelings, emotions, and LOVE".
