When I was in college (in '90) he performed Solfegetto Metamorphisis with
our Wind Ensemble and did a master class for the HS students who were on
campus that day for a band festival. Those of us who were clarinet and sax
players got to have lunch with him. He did a FANTASTIC job and then did an
encore...he had already done a concert that afternoon with our Concert Jazz
Band. He not only is a great player, but a great person!
