I am a musician - a saxophone player who does some composing, some teaching and promotion of contemporaray 'jazz' in the UK. I have, in the past, also been involved with research and development into large-scale distributed computing and am the author of more than 16 patents and several academic and industry papers in this field. I am new to editing articles in Wikipedia - so please accept my apologies if I make mistakes in my initial steps in this community. Thanks.
