I thought others would like. John suggested making an instrumental album of music that I liked and see what would happen. Four of these records have been in the Top 10 on Billboard's Contemporary Chart. I have recorded with many jazz greats including Toots Thielemans, Bob Mintzer, Steve Rodby, Chieli Minucci, Mino Cinelu, Alex Acuna, Andy Narell, Will Kennedy, Marc Johnson, John Fedchock and Chuck Bergeron. My music and group were featured on a PBS concert production by WOSU-TV and an interview and performance from Blues Alley were on BET Jazz.
Music can be very helpful in difficult moments.
In 1996 my mother passed away. I inherited my love of music from her and she was certainly my biggest fan. Her joyful spirit is still here touching my family. Music has such great capacity. I'm very interested in the recording process and I've gained a vast knowledge of studio techniques.
