I currently play two trumpets: Roger Ingram Jupiter and Benge 3x played by the late Bob McCoy . I also play a vintage Couisnon Flugelhorn from 1966. Custom mouthpieces for all my horns are made by Greg Black Mouthpieces.
For the last 12 years, I have played lead trumpet with the New Jersey City University Jazz Band under the direction of Ed Joffe.
In that time, we have been played behind these great jazz artists:
Arturo O’Farrill, John Pizzarelli, Maria Schneider, Jimmy Heath, Joe Lovano
Peter Erskine, Toshiko Akiyoshi & Lew Tabackin, Michael Brecker, Barry Harris, Joe Locke, Dr. Jon Hendricks, Charles McPherson, Byron Stripling
Buddy DeFranco, Vanguard Jazz Orchestra, Walt Weiskopf, John Fedchock
The New York Voices, Dave Tofani, Bob Mintzer, Conrad Herwig, Jim Pugh
