Other Saxophonists

Ricky Sweum
   Fellow Air Force saxophonist and one of the hottest soloists I've personally had the pleasure to work with
Derek Brown
   Ever heard of "new-grass" music? I hadn't either, until this ex-student of mine started making waves with it. (Hey Derek -
   your link is broken!)
Richard Van Voorst
   This former saxophone and composition student of mine plays and writes some very unique music.
Jack Wilkins
   Very rarely do great players and great teachers come in the same package. He's one of the best.
Brian Sacawa
   Incredible up-and-coming concert saxophonist
Jason Omara
   One of the best doublers I know
Donell Snyder
   My teacher and mentor - when are you going to build a website so I can link to you?

Composers

Chuck Owen

   Besides being a great jazz writer, this man actually teaches as well as he writes.

Will Gay Bottje

   Very interesting music, and he's a sweet guy on top of it.
Lewis Spratlan
   The man is ecclectic, even in an age where that word is thrown around like candy. Check him out - he's deep.
   Better yet, let his music speak for itself. Check out some samples here.
Cory Kasprzyk
   Also an excellent saxophonist
