    I read the article. Studied clarinet at Juilliard, High School of Music and Art, US Marine Corps Band, and a degree in Jazz Performance. New York Times and that Corey Kilgannon are full of shit!

    I saw you play in July on the steps of the Met but I think you could do better if you could play some of your own or original works. Anyone can play someone else's compositions...
