As a high school kid I had the good fortune to attend summer jazz workshops with the Stan Kenton Orchestra in the 70\'s. At one of the workshops, a trombone player in the Kenton band took me aside and said there is a teacher in NYC you should check out named Roy Stevens. My mother took my brother & I the next summer to NYC and we booked lessons with Roy Stevens. I will never forget this fabulous experience, it changed my life. One day during a lesson a young man came into the studio and Roy asked me to take him for a walk to times square. That young man was Maynard Ferguson\'s son - Bentley Ferguson!
