This is the link to a fairly extensive interview (written by Alayne McGregor of the Ottawa Jazz Scene) which includes my history on the instrument, as well as a few interesting anecdotes along the way.

According to Mark Eisenman, "If you haven’t heard this, then you’re missing out on one the best four minutes of jazz, ever!"  (…I tend to agree…Have a listen for yourself and see!… :-)
