I was initially about to post a complete bio, but I thought I'd spare everyone and just write a brief note about myself. Basically, I'm a 29 year old jazz musician/composer/artist and physician. I have a passion for true art and love to perform. I have been playing saxophone professionally since high school and have since worked and performed with many prominent artists on the jazz scene (Roy hargrove, Michael Brecker, Donald Byrd, Rodney Whitaker, Karriem Riggins, Winard Harper, to name a few) and have traveled extensively. I completed undergrad at U-M (jazz studies) in 2001 then moved to NY city to live and perform for a while. I am a physician at Henry Ford Hospital, in Detroit, working in the emergency room, and loving it. I have probably seen and dealt with anything you could imagine--somebody has to do it! : )
I am currently performing with the group Urban Transport (based out of Detroit/Ann Arbor), fairly frequently around the city (Bert's jazz club in the Eastern Market every Saturday night, Baker's keyboard lounge once per month, to name a few regulars). The group is composed of saxophone, trombone, piano, drums, bass and we perform all original compositions written by myself and the trombonist, Vincent Chandler. We have just released our newest album "URBAN TRANSPORT-LIVE" over the Detroit International Jazz Festival and it is now available... pick it up!
