An audience should expect to participate in songs as sing alongs, they can dance to the music I play, and most of all they should be able to relax and soak up some good oldies and smile.

I am a trumpet player singer who has done gigs since I was in my teens, playing all over the world at hotels. Business kind of got in the way for almost 40 years, but I am now back into gig-land. I use backing music to provide a big full sound, that allows me to feature many styles of songs using my voice and trumpet. While I love playing anything from classical through church music to jazz, by far my greatest passion is to entertain people with a jazz style. You will enjoy hearing some Ellington favorites such as Satin Doll, Sophisticated Lady, Take the A-train, to excerpts from musicals, such as Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Moon River, Some Enchanted Evening, to Ballads such as A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square, When Sunny Gets Blue, What the World Needs Now is Love, to lively Bossa Novas, Sambas, and of course, numbers from the Beatles repertoire.
