It was during his time at UNLV in the music department that Curt became serious about the trombone.  Curt was at UNLV studying under trombone master Bill Booth, now one of the most sought after trombonists in the LA recording scene.  The turning point was at the Orange Coast Jazz Festival where the UNLV Jazz Ensemble was competing.  The “pro” band that was playing at night was the Maynard Ferguson band, and during that concert the excitement of the band was all Curt needed to become hopelessly addicted to the instrument and genre.
