Joe Porter
Soon after graduating, Joe was asked to join the Maynard Ferguson Big Bop Nouveau band on a world tour from 2001-2003. During his tenure he also had the chance to perform with singer Diane Schuur.
Joe left the band in 2003 to pursue a freelance career as a jazz bassist which he continues from his home base in St. Petersburg, Florida. As well as performing, Joe teaches music at The Players School of Music in Clearwater, Florida where he is head of the bass department.
