Howdy! I'm JDP, and I'm a bassist/composer here in Kansas...though that is about to change to "bassist/composer in _Boulder, Colorado_" at the end of July of 1997.

I earned my BA in Music Theory/Composition at Wichita State while studying with such composers as Walter Mays and Katherine Murdock. I have also studied bass with Mark Foley and Glenn Holmes. I feel quite blessed to have studied with such great musicians as I go to the "Land of Milk and Honey" in Colorado.

I play both electric bass guitar and upright acoustic bass in a variety of musical situations...jazz...classical...folk....rock...you name it. I have also written for jazz combos, big bands, chamber orchestra, percussion groups. Recently, I've written a movie score for a local film maker here in Wichita.

I could go on and on about mememememememe...but I'll forgo that pretentiousness for now.

What do YOU like to do? Go APE WILD and mail me, won't you?
