Wayne is an accomplished performer (Kenny Burrell, Bobby Watson, Clark Terry, Joe Lovano, Jimmy McGriff, et al), educator (Distinguished Professor of Music and Director of Jazz Studies at Kansas State University), and author (“Blues All Day Long: The Jimmy Rogers Story”, and countless articles in various publications). You can expect to hear him swinging Benedetto style in the near future.
