Reggie Update

Firstly I would like to apologize to all the folks who have visited my site in the past for this update being a long time coming..couple of years to be exact! Well regardless to say I've been busy playing, recording and touring with my pals The Grooveline Horns and pop Sensation JasonMraz. I got married six months ago and recently moved to Austin, TX to pursue my music and check out the Austin scene.. It's a good scene too!! I play in several bands.. The Grooveline Horns Band (10 piece Funk/Hip Hop Explosion), Sauce (Kickin Cover Band), BoomBox (HipHop/Jazz), and of course The Jason Mraz Super Band. I've also begun to explore the jazz scene here and recently sat in with trumpet player Ephraim Owens.. a great player with a beautiful creative spirit! Rewind to May 1st 4th .. I played a Maynard Ferguson tribute in Philadelphia w/ Dennis Diblasio, Dennis Noday, Rick Matt, Ian Gordon, and several bad ass philly cats. It was a blast playing all those great MF Charts (my favorite was surely Got The Spirit!!) It was also a chop blaster as you can imagine.
Right now I'm very excited to go check out the International Trombone Fest in Austin. Lots of great players and vendors etc.. to check out. I will spend the entire day at UT Austin getting my trombone fill!!
Anyway.. thanks if your reading this ..there will be many more updates and surprises/projects I will announce on this site. More photos, blogs, .. more everything to come>> Stay Tuned and God Bless..
