My Story... "It all started back in Los Angeles, CA in the 1970's. Picture it...a 7 year-old little boy, listening to a little, blue transistor radio... shuffling through all the stations, trying to find something new... something different. He'd heard all the disco music of the time, but just needed a fresh sound. Then, he hears 'ding, ding- da-ding, ding-da-ding, ding-da-ding'... and he suddenly leaps to the edge of his bed and listens intensely. What was it he was hearing? Who was it? It was something that would change his life forever!" For the first time in my life, I'd heard SWING music. And I'd heard the swinging clarinet of Benny Goodman. I knew from that day forward, that's what I wanted to do... play the clarient! So I did! And the rest is history. I studied music throughout my school years, while practicing the clarinet the whole time. When I got to college, that's when i began meeting musicians.... really good ones too. My travels lead me to a place in Santa Monica, CA called, "The 3rd. Street Promenade". From there, my CD'S were born. I hope you enjoy the swinging clarinet of Mr. Raymond Pitts on all these GREAT JAZZ CD'S! THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING LIVE MUSIC!!
