Hi Bernie, I'm a young composer (20) studying with the intentions of one day getting my doctorate in composition and I have an extreme appreciation for what you do. I've dabbled a lot with doing cross-genre interpretations myself.

What parts of your academic training, self-teaching, and gigging experience were most influential in getting you where you are today? I'm also very curious about your music theory knowledge, as you seem to be a master of it.

That is fantastic to know! It's good to know that you aren't by-the-textbook when it comes to improvisation, which seems to be a growing trend with players my age. Thanks so much for answering our questions here and taking requests!
