As you can plainly see, my primary musical passion is jazz, though certainly not my exclusive interest.
I'm a drummer/percussionist, and have enjoyed jazz expression for over 50 years, but also enjoy R&B, Blues, select Rock, Pop and Country Swing, as well as Classical music.
I'm somewhat of a crusader for the late saxophonist Jim Pepper, an extraordinary Native American musician/composer.
