" Almost immediately, I met Ron Dewar (Tenor and Soprano Saxophonist), Will Parsons (percussionist and composer), and Jon English (trombonist, bassist, and composer).. . . Ron, Will and Jon introduced me to the great Modern Jazz of the period and my life was (again) forever changed. These three extraordinary musicians were my first and most important jazz mentors. The progressive musical scene in the midwest was more drastic than any I have encountered since, and not a phony in the lot. All first class musicians. Jon English was my closest and longest lasting friend and was the strongest influence on me."
