a strong desire to swing, and the commitment to support his fellow musicians
in any ensemble. Mr. Goble has appeared as a sideman with Grammy award-winning pianist Marcus Roberts and with numerous other notable artists, including Vincent Gardner, Wycliffe Gordon, Kevin Bales, Scotty Barnhart, Barry Green, Philip Harper, Jason Marsalis, Takana Miyamoto, and Stephen Riley among others.
