Background

I used to play with local R&B bands and Tejano bands but haven't played for some time now. Looking to get back into playing again.
Since I joined I have enrolled at Houston Community College and I am now a member of the HCC Southeast Jazz ensemble under the direction of Mark Holter.  I also take improv class at HCC and private lessons from Mr. Holter.  I have also been playing in the Stonebridge Church Orchestra and didn't realize how much I missed playing my sax.  I have been playing my sax again for a couple of years and going out and sitting in with various bands and at Jazz jam sessions like Smitty's, and The King Buiscuit.  I attend Houston Community College Southeast and Northwest.  Taking private lessons from Mark Holter and Dr. Woody Witt and play with both their Jazz Ensembles Monday and Tuesday nights.  Studing mostly jazz now.  I also attend Lone Star Montgomery and North Harris Colleges and studing Music Theory, Sight singing and ear training, and piano.  Looking to join a small jazz group and start performing again.
