My father spent just about every second of his life thinking about music. He played everywhere he could and played with all the jazz greats of his time. His main instrument was the saxophone, but he also played the flute, clarinet, keyboards, trumpet, trombone, and harmonica. He was playing and teaching until his final days. His favorite musician was saxophonist, Charlie Parker. An album of songs dedicated to Parker and written by my father, entitled, That’s the man they called Bird, is my favorite. My dad plays saxophone, clarinet, and flute on the album. He never got the sort of recognition he hoped for from the music industry, so I thought I would share some of his music. I have put it on Soundcloud for anyone that would like to listen and enjoy.
Update – I have remixed most of the songs and replaced the older versions – 6/5/2025
