My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 7/17/2006
Band Website: Coming soon...
Band Members: Darryl Yokley-saxophones; George Burton-keys; Mike Boone- bass; Wayne Smith J.R.- drums
Influences: I have numerous and diverse musical influences that I draw from so to list them all would be tiresome to anyone reading this. However, I believe some of my strongest influences are Charlie Parker, Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, Dave Holland Quintet, Chris Potter, Don Sinta, James Houlik, Joseph Lulloff, John Coltrane, Mtislav Rostropovich, David Oistrakh, Debussy, Dvorak, Beethoven, Bach, Stravinsky, Smashing Pumpkins, Sean Jones, New Century Saxophone Quartet, and many others. I like to listen to pretty much all genres of music and incorporate elements from them into my playing and compositions. Then there's other influences such as cinema, art, literature, nature, life, etc... if you'd like to know more feel free to ask.
Type of Label: None
