Haywood Giles saxophone. Haywood is an on again/off again musician that aspires to stick to it this time! He started playing saxophone in grade school and quit in high school when "it wasn't cool anymore." After a stint in the military as a combat medic, he resumed the study of music at the University of Virginia. While there he worked with the local heroes and educators while playing tenor saxophone in the UVA jazz ensemble. The 8 years following graduation he played family and career man, but not the horn. Never able to fully extinguish his fire for the music, he has picked up the horn again to play with the BAJA Jazz Collective, vowing to come back and be better than ever! His musical influences are Dexter Gordon, Hank Mobley, Sonny Stitt, Charlie Parker and Oscar Peterson.
