OMG! I'm Gonna be done with College as of May 6th 2006! WORD!
Anyways.... I'm attempting to be more social with the local music scene since I might be living in Fort Wayne for the next year or two (if I don't move to Chicago).Some of you might know me already, I've played alot of places all over but I'm usually never stationary in any one place. I'm about to Graduate from Indiana University with a batchelors in Secondary Special Education, minor is music.
Well here are somethings you should know about me. I graduated from Snider in 99. I started to take music seriously about midway through High School while playing in Jazz Band. I loved jazz music and the whole concept of improvisation. My primary instrument is Alto Saxophone (soprano saxophone was stolen). I have numerous influences ex: Cannonball Adderly, David Sanborn, John Coltrane, Karl Denson,The Roots, Soulive, RHCP, and Jimi Hendrix.
I attended Ball State where I learned to play Flute, Piccolo, and Clarinet. I primarily used them as jazz doubles but occasionally played flute and pic in jazz combo concerts. The lack of vision and passion for knowledge from my colleagues made me consider leaving BSU.
When I transfered to IU I started to collaborate with bar bands but this was after I took a year off from playing. Instead of playing jazz I wanted to play with other groups and try other music. So I did. Funk-Rock-R&B/Soul, Blues, Hip Hop.
The more I play with other musicians the more I realize that they can be the most self-centered and self-absorbant people on the planet.
Some of the bands I played with usually had conflicting personalities or a conflict of interest. It's been especially difficult finding a band that's a perfect for a saxophone player that wouldn't be tacky. Plus peeps that WANNA practice.
I've always enjoyed jamming with other bands but when all is said and done. I'd rather play with a commited band that is original yet authetic and not a group of guys trying to recreate their idol band. It's been hard finding a good fit which is one reason why I've picked up electric guitar.
So now I look for the "perfect" fit of Original-Authentic music that will allow me to express my extremely extroverted personality. Other then that I love food, sports, beer, and women.
I'm not on here much so add me please
