While in attendance, he was introduced to jazz through studies with master drummer, Grady Tate and was given the opportunity to perform with Jimmy Heath, Yusef Latef, Darren Barrett, David "Fathead" Newman and Larry Ridley. In 2007, McClenty received a Master Degree in Jazz Studies from The Juilliard School of Music in New York City where he studied under The Artistic Director of Jazz Studies and Jazz Drummer, Carl Allen. While studying at The Juilliard School, McClenty joined the Eric Reed Quartet and has since performed with Lou Donaldson, Buster Williams, Les McCann, Wycliffe Gordon, Peter Bernstein, Eric Alexander, Mike LeDonne, Jim Snidero and Paul Bollenback. In Gospel, he has worked with Donnie McClurkin, Richard Smallwood and has performed with the Soulful Symphony Orchestra under the direction of founder and composer, Darin Atwater.
