Composer, arranger, educator and artist Lardears’ talent is a large presence on the jazz scene in Philadelphia, Wilmington and surrounding areas. Lardear is a former member of the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra under the direction of Buddy Morrow and played lead alto with The Illinois Jaquet Big Band for six years until the legendary saxophonist's death in July 2004. He has studied with David Baker, Jimmy Heath, Barry Harris, Lee Konitz and Phil Woods. He is one with his instrument, the alto sax, and at alternating moments channeling the likes of Phil Woods and Charlie Parker.
