Beginning My Army Band Career

I’ve been performing solo along with my laptop for almost 20 years now and the number one question I get from other musicians is,
“How do I get started doing what you’re doing?” Here’s my story and what I believe is one of many ways to get started.
My gigging journey started over 30 years ago while serving in the US Army Band field. While at my AIT (advanced individual training)
at the School of Music in Virginia. As a music student in the military, you always want to go and check out your teachers.
There was a faculty jazz group named “Hearsay” that we students would see in downtown Norfolk.
These guys were and still are studio quality musicians.
