Billy Harper - Great Jazz Saxophonist

James Suggs - I'm so proud of James. I gave him trumpet lessons in HS and he really soaked in especially what I told him to listen to. Years later I found out he is making it as a jazz musician in Florida. I even have been able to do a gig with him and he introduced me to the great John Lamb! 

Cyrus Chestnut - Great Jazz Pianist

Cedar Walton - Great jazz Pianist and Composer. Seen here with Lewis Nash taken at the Newport Jazz Festival!
