Hi! I'm Ian. I am part saxophone and hail from Pennsauken, NJ, currently residing in Philadelphia while I attend grad school in education. I like to write music, and play it, with whichever musicians will have the pleasure of obliging my musical idiosyncrasies. I play the woodwinds and primarily compose and play in the modern jazz idiom. I do try to keep a nice balance of philosophy and classic fiction in my reading pallette; to date it doesn't inform my music as much as I might like, but why not keep life fulfilling on many fronts, eh?!Lately some jazz is taking itself too seriously. Then again maybe I am too. This won't be happening for long if I have anything to say about it! Trying daily to bring the tongue-in-cheek back into modern music.
