I suppose that it doesn't really make any difference what I have done in the past and who I've played with so I'll just dispense with all that. The only thing that matters is what is going on today.
A couple of things I'll mention here is that I've been in music for decades, have a degree in music education and although I can play several instruments, some equally well, I enjoy creating music with my 1967 Goya guitar which I acquired in 1968.
Today I'm semi retired and spend almost all of my time creating what is my passion, jazz. I fell in love with it when I was 7 and it has kept me intrigued all these years. I can play any style of music whether rock, country or ethnic but choose to play jazz simply because I can play it. I create a lot of tunes, probably between 2-3 a week. Most are a mix of jazz and blues. Why? Because I can, have the time and have an incredible thirst for creativity.
I realize that jazz on these sites are probably the least listened to and misunderstood genre but I want to thank those of you who are willing to take a listen to what I have created for artistical value if anything else. Thanks for taking a listen!
