Although it was the tail-end of the of old New York scene, a lot of the greats were still playing and he got to work and learn from people like Eldridge, Illinois Jacquet, Vic Dickenson and Jo Jones. Roy also paved the way for him to work with Anita O’Day and Hank Jones. He moved to New York in 1976 at the age of twenty-two, and through Roy Eldridge, with whom he had played a year previously in Boston, got a six-week gig at Michael’s Pub. From his playing mainly blues on mouth organ, his little band gradually became more of a jazz band. Even at that age he was attracted to the sound of Johnny Hodges, but it was not until he was about sixteen that he started playing the saxophone seriously. He had some clarinet lessons when he was about eight years of age, but that was the only formal music tuition he has ever had. He tried out several instruments, including drums at about the age of five, piano at six and mouth-organ.
