Myles Ta.

I attended Roosevelt University from 1997 to 2000.

I performed with Rodney Whitaker, Wycliffe Gordon, Orbert Davis, Wynton Marsalis, Nicole Mitchell, Corey Wilkes, Dorinda Clark-Cole, Lemmie Battles, Tiaybe, Baritone, Harvey Mason, Monifah, Al Haig, Slum Village, Dwele, Big Daddy Kane and others who have tremendously affected the music industry. Now I'm working with my own jazz group here in Dallas. These talented musicians play straight-ahead jazz with a quality that can be appreciated by the strongest of jazz lovers.
