Musical career
Although Askren was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina, and Dayton, Ohio. He learned about jazz from friends whose interests went beyond rock and roll. Askren started on guitar when he was twelve, and in his teens he belonged to bands that played rock, blues, and R&B at school dances and local venues. From 1976–1980, he attended Berklee College of Music in Boston and taught there during the 1980s. He also worked with Delfeayo Marsalis, Antonio Hart, and Bob Moses.[1]
In the 1990s, he moved to Los Angeles and was a sideman for pop acts such as La Toya Jackson and Marilyn McCoo. During his career, he has also worked with Jimmy Branly, Sal Cracciolo, Gary Foster, Linda Hopkins, Eddie Resto, Mike Vax, and Trio Nuevo.[1]
