A master of tone and rhythm, thebassist, composer, and bandleader is now in his fifthdecade as a performer and his music possesses a rich andkaleidoscopic history.

"That's become almost amantra for me over the years," he says, "as I've tried to finda way to build a vehicle which lets me utilize the full spectrumwhich includes the tradition, playing the blues andimprovising freely. I love all that music, and there's been adesire to reconcile all those areas, to make them relevant,hopefully, in a contemporary context, as one music."
