Biography

I came of age in Los Angeles. I was fortunate to have private trumpet lessons and to be able to see Harry James, Count Basie, etc etc.

In 1992 I became one half of a duo, playing both trumpet (fluegal) and electric bass. Usually I would start a tune on horn with guitar backing me. Half way through the tune I switched to electric bass and backed up the guitar. So we had two sounds, horn backed by guitar and guitar backed by bass. It never got stale. We lasted for 25 years.
