BIOGRAFIA MORRIS CAPOUYA
Morris è nato a Los Angeles, California.
Comincia a studiare musica all'età di sette anni grazie a sua nonna che lo inizia al suo primo strumento, il pianoforte, a cui si aggiunge ben presto il clarinetto.
Appena ragazzo suona con gruppi professionisti formati da musicisti molto più grandi di lui ed è da questi artisti che apprende le sfumature e le peculiaritÃ
del jazz americano.
I suoi studi continuano nel celebre Berklee College of Music di Boston sotto la tutela del grande sassofonista George Garzone.
Negli anni '80 si trasferisce ad Amsterdam ed inizia a girare l'Europa con il gruppo Sheer Madness.
Al suo ritorno negli USA collabora con artisti di grosso calibro come Bill Watrous e Frank Rosolino per poi approdare alla famosa orchestra di Don Menza
e suonare con figure leggendarie del Jazz come Buddy Colette, Paul Horn e Cat Anderson.
Attualmente, seguendo le orme di molti musicisti Jazz che lo hanno preceduto, Morris risiede in Europa.
