 thing that propelled me forward into studying jazz seriously, particularly on the theory side. So that was very much a part of my experience as a young musician, but there was always the appetite to learn more about what I'm doing. And that developed in Jazzmobile and ultimately led me to go to school at Bronx Community College. My brother and I, we studied there for a year under Valerie Capers. She was head of the jazz department when we were there.
