"I’ve been a
friend of jazz since attending the very first Newport (RI) Jazz
Festival in 1954. When I mentioned this to festival founder George
Wein a few years ago, he was happy to know that I was a paying
customer and not one who went in over the fence. I was 15 that
summer. After high school, I did a brief tour with remnants of the
Beat Generation – it was then I did my first ‘jazz sketches’ in ink
– I wonder if any of those drawings are still around. 1985 to
September 1998, I did public and press relations and scheduling for
former middleweight boxing champion of the world Marvelous Marvin
Hagler. I’ve done publicity for friend and jazz saxophonist Greg
Abate. I produced 2 CDs with Abate as leader; My Buddy released in
1995 showcasing tunes written by Jack Stevens and Broken Dreams
released in 1997. Both recordings were critically acclaimed. These
sessions featured Greg Abate, Mac Chrupcala, Donna Byrne, Marshall
Wood, Al Bernstein, Dave Zinno, John Anter, Paul Fontaine and Frank
Tiberi. I’ve drawn and painted for more than 50 years. In 2005 I
wrote Lady on the Narrows, a book of haiku – American haiku as
defined by Jack Kerouac. Kerouac was the ‘jazz poet’. And in 2009
I wrote a chapbook of poetry titled Great Miles. Painting and
writing are like jazz I think – the motion the improv. My wife
Jean and I reside in Massachusetts and Maine"
