In my travels as a saxophonist and woodwind
player, composer, teacher, arranger, producer/engineer, plus as a
performer in films, TV and in theater, I've worked all over the globe;
the one career highlight has to be playing in the remote Star Mountain
highlands of Papua New Guinea 900 miles from the nearest road, at an
arts festival with 30 different local tribes including Marlboro smoking
mud men and
(alledged) cannibals.
Check out the Band page and some of the groups
I've worked with, and listen to
some music samples. My latest project is composing music for
educational settings; music for middle and high school and beyond.
