Stan Ross studied under Buddy Savitt, a true virtuoso with Cameo Records ...then Dennis Sandole, the "Consummate Maestro." I was fortunate to have played beside Larry McKenna, Eddy "Lockjaw"Davis and Cannonball Adderly. My greatest inspiration was Stan Getz ...the purity of his sound similar to a Violin; the fluidity and dexterity of his technique were exhilarating.
