About Me

Alex Violette, native son of New York City; I was born in south Brooklyn (Sheepshead), raised in Staten Island (north shore), and I currently live in the south Bronx. I'm a freelance musician, but I'm hardcore cos shit ain't sweet!!Although I do read music proficiently (on woodwinds), I am first and foremost an improviser. I often compose music as well.My main instrument is tenor sax, and my primary doubles are soprano sax, flute and bass clarinet; occasionally in a professional situation I'll need to play alto or baritone saxes, or clarinet. I also play guitar and keyboards and have been known to do the odd electric bass gig.I graduated from LaGuardia H.S of Music, Art and Performing Arts, and got my BFA from CUNY/City College of New York.

Does anyone share my fundamental philosophical dilemma with MySpace?

I keep editing my damn profile to make this thing seem right to me, to justify my participation in this mass-cohesion of our own unique situations and personalities. But when I edit my shit I never fe...
