Jazz! Free improvisation on the base of some music patterns. Immediate fascination and communication with the audience!
There are even more JazzDocs to my knowledge than those mentioned below at >DocPresentation (click on navigation link).

From the publication of the Deutsches Ärzteblatt about DoctorsHobbies.com I got in touch with Dr.med. Andreas Diemer whom I am happy to present below in >DocPresentation.

9+10) Roger Friedman is JazzPianoDoc
and Eddie Henderson is JazzTrumpetDoc!

It All Began Here... When I was about 5 years old I used to listen to my Dad play the old Hammond chord organ in our living room. He'd come home from work, have dinner and then sit and play "It's Only a Paper Moon" among other great show tunes. I started goofing around and making up my own songs on the old Hammond and one thing led to another and I became a drummer! Yes, that's right. Instead of taking piano lessons I took drum lessons. I had the old rubber practice pad and learned my rudiments. Pretty soon I was playing in the school marching band and a high school rock band. I always loved the keyboard though, and continued to play by ear. After a stint at Ohio University playing the conga drums in the Jazz ensemble, I transferred to Berklee in Boston. That's where I met some really great musician's and started to see where my place was in music. One of my close friends at Berklee, Steve McCraven, was studying drums. He heard me play both the piano and the drums and said "forget the drums, stick to piano", and that's what I did.

You can click here to see my schedule of past and upcoming performances

The rest of the story... I studied piano with Ray Santisi and formed an electric jazz-fusion group in Boston. We moved to western Massachusetts and made some incredible music for a couple of years. Very spontaneous, highly improvisational. The group went their separate ways and I ended-up back in Cleveland where it all started. Eddie Henderson is TrumpetDoc!
