I have the body of a human and the head of a human, but not the same human.I have always loved and appreciated jazz, especially the older stuff. Even when I was a teenage metal-head, I was listening to Louis Armstrong, playing jazz trombone, and seeing Les Paul on Monday nights at Fat Tuesdays.When I heard Django Reinhardt, whom Les Paul had played with, I fell madly for Django’s playful, spontaneous, liberated, and inventive style.Now I'm lucky enough to be playing hot swing with these guys . We call ourselves Baro Swing for some reason.
My only musical aspiration is to sound like myself. I have been playing guitar since this morning.HEROES:
Musically - Django Reinhardt, Bach, and Bob Marley.Philosophically - Joseph Campbell and any dog with three legs.
