I completed my Master of Jazz Pedogogy in December 1979. I stayed in Miami playing at the Galt Mile Resort in Ft. Lauderdale and the Tropicana in Miami Beach for six months.

I wanted to put some recent of my playing on a tape to submit with my resume for applying for teaching jobs so I recorded me playing Bach's Brandenburg Concerto 2 Allegro on piccolo trumpet and Yardbird Suite on flugelhorn.
