I know Antony; he plays bassoon in the Ohlone Wind Band where I play
alto clarinet. I also played with him for a while in the Foothill
Evening Jazz Band where he was playing lead alto. He has one of the
best lead alto sounds I have ever heard; it was a treat to play in
that section with him. He has also played oboe with Foothill Wind
Ensemble.
