Lmeez, you are invited on a Wikipedia Adventure!
 The Adventure

Darryl Yokley is an American saxophonist/composer and arranger who is quickly establishing himself as one of the most talented and diverse musicians of his time. Born on February 2nd, 1982 in Los Angeles, California, he began his musical training at the age of 10 on clarinet, before switching to saxophone at the age of 11. He took to his musical training very quickly and over his years in grade school won many honors and awards before going off to study at Duquesne University with James Houlik, and Joe Lulloff at Michigan State University thereafter. During his time in school he focused primarily on classical saxophone, and it wasn't until he moved to Philadelphia after graduate school that he started studying jazz seriously. During this time he was also fortunate enough to start touring with Motown legends The Four Tops and The Temptations on a regular basis. He quickly established a reputation as an up and coming player on the scene and after living in Philadelphia for two and half years Yokley made the move to New York City where he has remained ever since. He's played with many great artists such as Orrin Evans, Butch Morris, Jack Walrath, Franky Lacy, Bill McHenry, and Valery Ponomarev just to name a few while also maintaining an active career as a classical saxophonist and leading his own jazz small group, Sound Reformation which incudes Duane Eubanks, Zaccai Curtis, Luques Curtis, and Wayne Smith Jr.Lmeez (talk) 19:57, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
