I'm a professional musician who for some reason along the path to enlightenment, self-actualization and fulfillment, also became a lawyer. I play sax, clarinet, flute and am a published composer, primarily for jazz big band but small groups as well. Recent composing/arranging has been for friends' big band projects, including adding strings to old arrangements (now THAT was fun). Playing clarinet quartets with Rheuben Allen and the gang have helped remind me of my classical roots as well.
