I hope all is well with you in New York.
I loved hearing you play and you were an outstanding teacher in the Pittsburgh region.
Although it's terrific that your doing so well in New York.
I loved having you as my teacher at Duquesne University's Jazz Camps!
Right now I'm the Artistic Director of Jazz Workshop, Inc.
I organize Outreach Programs, Family Night Concerts, and oversee the JWS School of Music at JWS.
I also play in several bands which include Puttin' On The Ritz Big Band, Dynasty, Guaracha, and Brass Impact.
There are so many success stories out of Duquesne's Jazz Camp- Kevin McManus, Skip Saunders, and Mike Clancy just to name a few.
Well, thanks for passing on the knowledge to me and so many Pgh. musicians.
Keep Swinging,
