I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)Before I say anything about me, I must thank God for giving me the opportunity to be alive, to express myself through music as well as other ways, and to serve Him in this world.Hey everyone I’m Haneef. I was introducted to jazz at age 13 through my Dad and through the Jazzmobile program. There I was taught how to play trumpet by such legendary figures as Donald Byrd and Cecil Bridgewater, but it wasn’t until I was 17 years old and met Dave Burns, an unsung trumpet legend in jazz known to alot of his peers but not to alot of us that I really began studying jazz.I attended and graduated from the Hartt School (class of 2000) and have had the pleasure of studying with the great Jackie McLean, Nat Reeves, Steve Davis, Chris Casey, & last but not least my trumpet teachers at Hartt Raymond Williams and Roger Murtha.I’ve been blessed to play with some of the best of the up and comming generation including: Dezron Douglas; Lummie Spann, Zaccai Curtis; Luques Curtis; Ray McMorrin; Josh Evans; Josh Bruneau; and many others. I’ve also had the pleasure of playing with some of the living legends of this music including Jimmy Owens; Donald Byrd, Nat Reeves, Steve Davis, and a few others.I hope that you enjoy the music. As I get the chance to record new music, I will post it. Enjoy!The video on this page is of a trumpet battle between myself, Josh Evans, and Josh Bruneau on Jackie McLean’s classic Dig.Trumpet Battle
