About Me


I've been playing the saxophone in front of people for 35 years now. During all that time, nearly without exception, I've been surrounded by fantastic musicians. Here, in the Twin Cities, I've had the opportunity to conspire with other sidemen in bands the likes of Big Walter Smith and the Groove Merchants, Down Right Tight, The Flammable Jammies, Mick Sterling and the Stud Brothers, High & Mighty, The Good Bad and Funky, The Cedar Avenue Big Band, The Senders, Inside Straight, The Rfactor, Blue Chamber featuring Big John Dickerson, Davina and the Vagabonds, and a whole host of other bands which I tend to drift in and out of now and then. If I were to name all of the tremendous musicians I've worked with here...well, you probably wouldn't believe me and it would abuse too much space and time.-----Currently I am a freelance guy and I perform regularly with Scott Miller and The Reuptake Inhibitors featuring John Iden on bass, Mark O'Day on drums, Scott Sansby on percussion and insight, and Scott David Miller on piano, organ, vocals, and song writing. Always challenging, always interesting, and always my great pleasure.

Half & Half

Now, goodevening. The container is either half full or half empty. All or nothing? Duality in a multi-dimensional universe is a bitch. Look. There are things that we can share and things that we ...
