Convergence with special guest Jimmy Heath!

It was a thrill and honor to play with jazz master Jimmy Heath.  His incredible musical mind is matched equally by his wit and generous spirit.    To hear him play is like hearing the history of the Tenor sax in every note!    Thank you Mr. Heath!

Clinic at BYU ( Brigham Young University )

I had a wonderful time with the super-creative students at BYU on Nov. 1 & 2.   We played repertoire from early jazz and these "kids" really know what they're doing!    Steve Call is their fearless leader and a great tuba/trombonist.
