Professor Mike Carbone is the director of the Harpur Jazz Ensemble at Binghamton University, SUNY.

I love him like a father. He is my hero, and he introduced the world of jazz to me. Without him I would have never been where I am now.

Ever since I knew him, I would draw a comic for his birthday each year. This one is the second one: A Practical Guide of What NOT To Do during rehearsal in front of Mike Carbone.
