“When I went to Cal State Northridge for my undergraduate degree, I started as a classical clarinet major,” he added. “They had a great jazz band directed by Joel Leach, and by the time I graduated I had a jazz degree. And Ramon Richter’s great saxophone books really attracted me to go to Eastman and study with him. Incidentally, I met my wife, Lisa, at Eastman, and that came about because Ray offered us both teaching assistantships at the same time. And Ray ended up being the best man at our wedding.” -- Downbeat Magazine
