My interests in jazz are:

The music, its practioners, and its history. I like most forms of jazz music from early sounds to avant-garde or spirit music. Am also interested in jazz biographies, fiction, and poetry.

More about what I do:

I am working with Nimbus West Records on a re-issue of the Horace Tapscott Trio recording "Dissent or Descent."

Additionally, I have written liner notes with Don Snowden and helped produce the Dark Tree CD "Legacies for Our Grandchildren -- Live in Hollywood, 1995" with the Horace Tapscott Quintet.

I support the JJA because

I now have more time to concentrate on jazz music and my interests align well with those of JJA.
