- - "Carle Wayne Vickers was born in Portland, in 1947. Carle began piano lessons at the age of four with his grandmother, Alice Vickers (an accomplished pianist) who set the bar very high. She was so incredible she could sight read preludes and fugues from Bach’s Well Tempered Clavichord and transpose them at the same time. But Carle hated the piano. 

When Carle was nine, the school system launched a program teaching wind instruments. Once a week a music teacher instructed volunteers from the 5th grade and Carle saw this as an opportunity to escape from piano lessons. Influenced by a neighbor who played the trumpet, Carle chose that instrument. His grandmother agreed but held his feet to the fire, making him play exercises over and over. Carle learned there was no escape from a diligent work ethic.

At the University of California , Irvine , his degree program was jazz performance and composition. Though Carle was a sax major, he played trumpet in the jazz band and other ensembles. Carle studied with great instructors and players including James Newton(flute), Charlie Owens (saxophone), Hugh Regan (trumpet), Kai Akagi (theory and composition), Dr. Art Taylor ( jazz history ). He took master classes with Billy Childs, Yo Yo Ma, David Baker, Take 6, Hemiett Bluette and Jeff Hamilton to mention a few. He also juggled school and work for six years playing in the USA and Europe.

2000 to present – long awaited reunion with L.T.D. including recording and touring. Recording sessions with Phoenix Horns, Gospel Artist Elaine Norwood and Blues Pianist Floyd Dixon. World tours with Little Milton, The Phillip Walker Big Band, Bobby Womack, Solomon Burke, Bobby Womack, Solomon Burke and Tina Marie."
