I possess a musical mind and with it, I am on a never-ending journey for my own sound, niche, style. Whatever you want to call it, its an exploration of possibilities and creative stimuli. I try to avoid placing myself in a "pigeon hole" with any specific style. I both enjoy and have experience playing many different forms and styles and likewise draw from many of them whether I am composing original material or learning standard material. But since we live in a world where everything is subjected to categorization, I have selected a few different "categories" which can best describe my musical doings: Jazz; a foremost interest of mine as well as a committed professional pursuit. "Jazz" is really a monstrous umbrella term that covers many contrasting styles and approaches rather than just one thing (for example: swing, bebop, hardbop, soul-jazz, funk, groove, latin, dixieland, fusion, free). Just as there is "Jazz" music, there is also a "Jazz" mentality and a "Jazz" approach that can be utilized by any musician regardless of genre. The basis of this consists of spontaneous improvisation, focused listening/reacting, concise musical decision making, and both personal and group dynamism. I like to utilize all of these elements in any context in which I may find myself. The other categorical terms I draw on are "Roots Music", which is really an extension of the previous umbrella term, and goes on to encompass world, folk, and blues to name a few. The last category, "Contemporary", may seem a bit ambiguous, but at the same time is a great descriptive term for everything that may categorize music in our modern era whether it be experimental music, techno, rock, post-rock, prog-rock, folk-rock, 20th century classical etc...I am comfortable with this term because it leaves possibilities open for me to explore without have to jump through hoops to try and label everything that I may come up with creatively. What it really comes down to at the end of the day is something that Louis Armstrong summarized very eloquently: "There are only two kinds of music: good music and bad music." I am a musician and I like to play good music.
