Popis - SONGS FROM HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WI:
A native and lifelong resident of Pensacola, Florida, I was born 7:12pm, January 27th on a cool Friday evening at the Naval Hospital on the Pensacola Naval Air Station, home of the Navy's Blue Angel flight team and overlooking the beautiful Emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico. My father, Steve Sr., from West Point, Georgia, was in the Navy and stationed at Pensacola NAS at that time, and with my mother Nancy, from Walnut Hill, Florida, decided Pensacola was a wonderful place ‘to call home’. At nine years old and in the 4th grade at Saint Michael Catholic School, the band director Mr. Knight introduced me to music and the exhilaration of playing the trumpet. One year later after a family move to another area of town and changing schools, I continued private lessons with Mr. Knight but only for a few months because of school and travel time, but playing the trumpet became a dynamic challenge for me and I practiced constantly at home. Several years later Pensacola Catholic High School brought me the joy and delight of their high school concert and marching bands. As a Freshman in High SchooI I was very talented even though mostly self taught, and was disappointed when our Band Director, Mr. Reed named another musician 'Most Promising Freshman' of the High School Band. Two years later as a Junior , I proved Mr. Reed was mistaken. I was honored with the prestigious award of 'Florida High School State Champion Trumpet Soloist'. My solo 'The Tower of Jewels' which I performed in Tallahassee at the Florida State University Music Hall, earned me a Superior rating and the State Championship. With approximately 5,000 high school trumpet players in the State of Florida, being 'number one' was an incredible achievement for which I will always be humbled and proud of. Influenced by the exciting sounds of four of my favorite trumpet players Doc Severinsen, Al Hirt, Harry James and Louis Armstrong it was time to make a move to a professional career. I am now pursuing a lifelong ambition of making professional recordings....to quote another professional musician and artist John Reynolds after listening to my album: '... pleasing tones... amazing runs... sheer power and range.... words that hardly seem adequate to describe your playing on My Date With Destiny. Your performances on these ten songs bring to mind such trumpet icons as Severinsen, Mangione and Alpert.... gotta love the way you breathe new life into such timeless classics as Unchained Melody, Begin The Beguine, Over The Rainbow and Stardust, one of my all-time faves... just wanted to say congrats! and many thanks for the wonderful Sentimental Journey. God bless you, mate and I can't wait to hear the next one.... My Date With Destiny indeed!'
