I grew up during the Golden Age of Hip-Hop and Neo Soul, when I got interested in hard swinging Hard Bop, Funky Post-Bop, and Hip-Hop influenced Soul.   

I love emulating the sounds that I heard growing up in the 80's and 90's, with my unique funky Hard Bop swing, and head-knocking drum shuffles and cadences. 

Often in the studio with solid rhythm sections, great brass, and reeds, creating live instrumrntation, for hard swinging bandleaders, soulful vocalists, and spoken-word poets.
