F. Clark Grogan F. Clark Grogan grew up in Clearwater, Florida where his involvement with music began at an early age with his participation in church vocal and bell ensembles. These activities continued into his teens when lessons on the guitar turned his ear to the music of Joe Pass, Tal Farlow, and John Coltrane. It was because of this interest in serious improvisational music, that Mr. Grogan was encouraged to pursue jazz studies at The University of North Texas. As an undergraduate student at the University of North Texas, Mr. Grogan wrote, arranged, and transcribed music for a contemporary jazz quintet specializing in the music of Carla Bley, Don Grolnick, Vital Information, Weather Report, and many other contemporary jazz greats. In addition to his involvement with improvisational music, he was beginning to be exposed to the compositional methods of contemporary classical music. Due to an increasing interest in contemporary classical music, Mr. Grogan began to pursue a degree in Music Theory while continuing his involvement with jazz music. After graduating from the University of North Texas in 1989, Mr. Grogan continued to broaden his musical experiences in Columbus, Ohio. While pursuing a graduate degree in composition at the Ohio State University, Mr. Grogan wrote pieces for clarinet solo, string quartet, jazz tentet, and jazz quintet. He also began experimenting with a variety of methods of sound design.
