Steve Csoto plays all that jazz Showcase After having played three years on the San Gorgonio marching, concert and jazz bands, Steve Csoto was looking forward to representing the Spartan music department for one more year. Steve has played the clarinet since fourth grade. I first started playing the clarinet just to get out of class, but it wasn ' t long before I really started get- ting into the music. After having already played the clarinet for four years, Steve decided to try the sax. The saxophone has been Steve ' s main instrument since he was thir- teen. Once I started playing sax, I really liked the sound. During his high school music career, Steve has perfor med in the Mt. Sac, Chaffey College, and Corona music tournaments with the jazz band. Last year, Steve was among those honored at the league regionals with the first place prize. Many other musicians have been instrumental in Steve ' s style of music (jazz). The big band sounds of Rob McConnell and Louie Belson were very in- fluential to Steve. I enjoy the tight ensemble sounds of the big band era. Matt Gatingube ' s bebop style has been Steve ' s biggest influence along with Charlie Parker. Besides playing the clarinet and saxophone, Steve ' s hobbies include bicy- cle riding, collecting comics, continuing teaching himself the piano, and of course listening to KKGO FM, a popular Los Angeles jazz station. I also listen to new wave and punk rock, groups like the Stray Cats and the Go Go ' s. After completing high school, Steve plans to major in music in college. He hopes to attend North Texas State University, Cal-State Northridge o r San Antonio University. I would like to someday form my own quartet or big band as a career.
