My interests in jazz are:

Pacific NW jazz, John Coltrane, Elvin Jones, musician autobiographies

More about what I do:

The vibrant Seattle jazz scene fuels my writing. My musical performances here include recordings with Elvin Jones and solos on the Halo 3: ODST video game soundtrack. I'm working on a book that includes the biography of saxophonist Joe Brazil.

I support the JJA because

Independent writers need a tribe.
