For over 20 years, I’ve hosted Dr. Sushi’s Free Jazz BBQ, a unique radio program that features three hours of hard-hitting, innovative European and American jazz as well as an occasional dose of modern experimental music. On any given Tuesday morning, you might hear something from the 1960’s performed by John Coltrane or Ornette Coleman right after a track from an album released last week by an artist you’ve never heard of. My goal is to expand your musical horizons and surprise you with something every week. You can follow me on Twitter (@DrSushiWMSE) and Facebook (Dr. Sushi) to see what I’m doing.

When I am not DJing, I spend much of my time fighting for my clients as a litigation attorney with an office in the Third Ward. I have a wonderful daughter in her 20’s who works for a marketing firm in Minneapolis and still try to run as much as I can despite the many injuries that I’ve sustained in my nearly 50 years of doing so. I also enjoy traveling and typically spend at least two weeks a year on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Kaua’i. Hiking is one of my passions and I have hiked the world famous Kalalau Trail in Kauai on 9 occasions, as well as more of the island’s other spectacular trails than I can count.

In addition to frequently attending concerts of all sorts, you can also spot me at numerous sporting events around town. I am an avid Marquette Warriors fan and fully expect that they will win the NCAA men’s basketball championship one of these days. I also attend quite a few Brewers and Bucks games.

I appreciate all kinds of music and make it a point to attend Lollapalooza every year to hear what the young crowd is into. My favorite band of all time is The Rolling Stones. My favorite jazz artist would be very hard to choose although Bird, Trane and Miles would certainly be high on the list. If you ever happen to see me somewhere, be sure to come up to me and say “Hi”. It’s always great to meet fellow jazz fans. Aloha.
