About Me
I love hitting the studio with talented musicians, swinging hard to some original Hard Bop, and sessions that include
funky Post-Bop, and providing live instrumentation for the original works of soulful vocalists.
I stay sharp keeping up with Jazz standards, and my Hip-Hop breakbeat chops, that I often incorporate slickly into
my Hard Bop swing, funky Post-Bop, and my Hip-Hop influenced Contemporary Soul.
