I play the soprano sax, as well as the clarinet, some piano, and the accordion. I can also play alto and some tenor sax. I am looking to join a gigging band or two (or more), and am available to play regular gigs. I am also available for studio recording sessions. I play the sax with a beautiful, haunting tone. I am very good at improvising, but am also classically trained so read dots.

Influences
I am highly influenced by traditional jazz - Fats Waller, Ella, Billie Holiday, Stan Getz, etc - and also by Latin. I love folk and country too, and also reggae. My taste is very eclectic, and my playing too.
EQUIPMENT
I have a soprano sax and a B flat clarinet. Also an accordion (48 base). I have access to other saxophones if I need to borrow them.
