Wes says he enjoys swinging with a big band.  He plans to attend UCLA after graduation.  He likes playing music but doesn’t like “boring, lame music with no trumpet part”.  Wes is classically trained and has played in the San Diego Youth Symphony’s wind ensemble for three years.  He has been in honor band during the past three years and last year made second chair in high school honor band.  This year he made first chair, way to go Wes!  He has received the Outstanding Musician Award.  His advice to a young upcoming musician is: “learn how to play classical music before you try jazz”.  This is very sound advice and all the great jazzer’s are classically trained!  Wes is another greatly improved musician from his experiences playing with the Jazz Ensemble.
