The Point

The POINT holds a degree from the University of Rhode Island and currently performs and teaches in the greater Philadelphia area. He started on trumpet at a young age and picked up guitar in high school. After graduation, POINT moved back to PA where he studied with Glenn Lyonns at West Chester State Univerity. After a late night Chet Atkins special on PBS, he moved to the less formal styles of jazz and country and learned many fingerstyle pieces. The POINT currently performs a 2 hour set of classical and jazz solo pieces at East Coast cafes and weddings. His personal studies continue with classical pieces such as Granada and he recently added Bohemian Rhapsody to his song list. He is currently seeking funding or sponsorship for his first jazz CD which contains both trumpet and guitar instrumentals. The POINT is available for private guitar lessons, partoes and weddings.

As Black History Month winds down for this year, it seems an appropriate time to revisit an historic session involving musicians from St. Louis' original Black Artists Group of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Recorded in 1971 here in St. Louis, saxophonist Oliver Lake's album Ntu: The Point From Which Creation Begins was issued in 1976 on the Arista Freedom label, which was putting out a lot of avant-garde and “loft" jazz around that time. It's been out of ...
