Born in the U.S. at Fort Knox Kentucky, Randy’s family moved to Orleans France later where he started playing the alto saxophone at age “10â€, by age "12" he was sitting in with the jazz artists that were playing in Paris and Orleans and also at the U.S. Government and Military clubs at the casernes and bases there. Moving back to Washington D.C. in 1964 Randy began playing the tenor sax because of the sound of jazz, blues & R&B and rock in the U.S. at that time.
Randy’s professional career really took off in the late 60's he played with The Lancers, Little Michael and the Majestics, The Heard, Northwest Passage, Lemonade Charade, worked at Stax in Memphis, Columbia in Nashville and in Muscle Shoals and played shows at Opryland. Randy then moved on and went out with The Flock and then The Crusaders with Wilt Felder and Herbie Phillips' Las Vegas Hilton Band. Then while in the military he played with the U.S. Army Band Europe while in Germany and then the Bicentennial Band. Back in the U.S. he picked up immediately with several groups again, The KC Jazz Masters, The Swing Kings, Kentucky Troubadours, played at Opryland again and ended up with the septet Sassy.
