Through over 230 hours of marching band, and countless more hours improving saxophone, I had finally achieved both goals and continued to improve on my craft. This motto of good better best…

Music has been part of my life for as long as I could remember. Dating all the way back to my younger years where I didn't even have a mind of my own to know I loved music. A child loving music is nothing more than a young boy or girl who likes to sing. As a child I was never really pushed to be musically inclined even though now I see I wish I would have been.…

    combination of Kim Cass' propulsive swinging bass and Kate Gentile’s vibrant drumming becomes best friends with Mitchell’s dazzling textures on “Mini Alternate”, a mutant piece featuring the charming yet cavernous sounds of Scott Robinson’s bass saxophone and the bandleader’s meticulous explorations. Ches Smith on glockenspiel and Dan Weiss on tabla enrich the scenario with quality vibes when the band gets suspended in a hectic groove before landing definitively on an enchanting percussive soil.…
