The music I`m feeling now: "Ballads" by Dexter Gordon, and "What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life?" by Sarah Vaughn. I`m also digging Kenny Dorham`s "La Mesha".

A book I`d recommend: The one that I`m writing now.

The funniest movie I`ve seen recently: I`m not a movie person.

Some nicknames I`ve been called: SaxMan, Jazzmaniac, JazzMessenger

A quote I like: "It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty Gods or no God at all. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."

Some of my heroes: John Coltrane, Malcolm X and every black man and woman who has struggled in their life.

A recent accomplishment I am proud of: Having an article published on the Op-Ed page of the New York Daily News.

An embarrassing moment I`d rather forget: Whatever it is I`ve forgotten already.

One reason my friends like me: There`s no pretense about me. I`m just a down-to-earth brother.
