Some of the first public performances by alto saxophonist and composer Randal Despommier were at Mardi Gras parades in New Orleans alongside his father, a drummer who studied with Crescent City guru James Black and served a stint in the Big Easy rock band South. Although Randy grew up in Metairie, just outside New Orleans, and was steeped in the regional sounds of funk, R&B and jazz (not to mention digging punk and grunge), he would stretch his musical wings far beyond in subsequent years. He studied early sacred music in Italy, earned a doctorate at New England Conservatory, played the organ and led choirs in churches, and eventually settled into the bustling, ever-challenging jazz scene of New York City.
