Went to Andress high school which always placed high in the NAJE rankings back in the 80's. Went to europe with that band in 82.
Went to UTEP where we recorded three LPs with the Jazz Lab Band and played in the Montreaux Jazz Festival in 1986 (I think it was 86). I was the Jazz chair for that band.
In Houston I have been a freelance player working with a LOT of different bands over the years. Some of it has been jazz. I am David Caceres' trumpet player whenever he uses trumpet and I played the jazz chair with Ed Gerlach for about fifteen years. But mostly I've played lead horn section stuff in salsa bands, top forty/wedding bands and stuff like that.

Have a nice day.
thanks
Sotia Teneh.
´d really appreciate it if you could take the time to look at my work and leave your impressions here or in the guestbook on my homepage -http://www.miartemartagracielabressi.webs.com/- where there are more samples of my digital art works, engravings and sculptures. The web site´s in Spanish but, if you want to read the texts in English, you can access my Livejournal:

You can also visit the website we created with the Belgian jazz musician Dirk Schreurs to make our recent video art collaboration known to the world:

P.S.: Unfortunately, i' ve got too many contact on the network to add more.File free to add me if you want.
Nice to see you on the jazzcom page. I just finished a new recording with Galen's band featuring a great vocalist in the Dallas area. It's on my jazzcom page, band and vocal cuts alike. See you on the next Jack Melick gig. Byron Parks
Thanks for the add. I use your "Daily Routines" and "Go With the Flow" books all the time. Really get a lot of of them. Hope to meet you one day. Take care and keep in touch.
Was Sam Trimble still at UTEP when you were there? I performed a clinic there under his watch way back when I used to live in Dallas, late 70s or early 80s. Keep swingin'. You know Sparky Koerner I bet?! Good buddy of mine. Will be in San Antonio for TBA coming up soon. Look forward to making your acquaintance sometime in the near future. Check out the newly formed Jazz Education Network. Up and running in a couple of weeks.
