- About Me:
- Born in a military family, Earnest spent the first 15 years of his life traveling the country. The experience taught him an appreciation of different cultures and musical styles. While still a very young child Earnest's Air Force family was stationed in Hawaii. There he befriended his neighbors, The Wooten family, whose house was continuously filled with the sounds of live music. While Victor Wooten went on to become the best bass player in the world, it was Rudy on the saxophone that really inspired Earnest. At the age of 9 Earnest started playing the guitar, but a year later he picked up the saxophone and it has been his principle instrument ever since. Amazing his instructors, Earnest was deemed a natural. When he was only 14 years old the established musicians in Pensacola, Florida felt his playing was so essential they sneaked Earnest into night clubs to showcase his talents. Most nights Earnest was not allowed to leave the bandstand because he looked even younger then his 14 years!
Earnest released his first CD, Raindrops in the sun in 1997 and his second CD Variations on a groove in 2006. Earnest's 3rd release will hit the stores on August 25, 2009.

South Florida Smooth Jazz Mixer -- Any Suggestions?
I am in the planning stages of organizing a weekly mixer for South Florida professionals and lovers of smooth jazz. The performances will include myself and my 5 piece band, comedians, spoken word artist, Neo-Soul and R & B singers. Right now I am looking into The Blue Martini in Ft. Lauderdale. Can anyone recommend another nice venue for this? Let me know, we plan to kick this off in about a month.
