Maria de Barros: Maria is a wonderful Cape Verdean singer who I had the pleasure of performing and recording with for the last 7 years. Cape Verdean music has had a profound influence on my life and this is a stellar band.
Waledemar Bastos: Waldemar is a legendary Angolan singer-songwriter who I have had the pleasure of recording with recently. I met him while touring with Maria de Barros and then recorded "Love is Blindness" with him from the record Africa Celebrates U2. We just finished a full album together to be released soon.

Sambaguru: Sambaguru is an ensemble of musicians from Brazil, the United States and Sri Lanka that has been playing a wide-ranging blend of original music since 1997. I played off and on with the group for many years and now am a fulltime member. Listen to my work on the songs “Beleza da mulher Brasileira”, “Pagode do Maracana” and Fogo de Palha from the new release.
Chekere: I met Yvette Summers back in the days I played with Vinx and some with percussionist Bill Summers. Yvette has put together a wonderful group with the direction and compositions of Cuban trumpet player Luis Eric Gonzalez. Its a pleasure to be part of this powerhouse band!
Vinx: Vinx is a very special artist, and I relate to his music very much. I toured and recorded with his band extensivly in the early 90s We continue to work together and have had some amazing times.
The Latin Project: I met Jez Colin on myspace and formed a nice musical relationship with him immediately. I was a fan of his group the Solsonics and we have now teamed up for live performances and have a song we co-wrote called "Onda" on the most recent Latin Project CD.
Billy Kent: I met Billy through working with Vinx and just love his songs, and he just keeps writing hits and I am in his band! Check out our new track "cabin window" at his site
Billy Tolles: I had the luck and where-with-all to work with legendary saxophonist and show-man Billy Tolles. In jazz terms he was uber-mentor to me. God bless his rocking stompin' horn! There will never be another you. There is very little info about his illustrious career online but he is undeniably one of the greats in jazz, blues R&B and fantastic entertaining stage presence.
Claudio Slon: This is an incredibly detailed tribute site to the legendary drummer Claudio Slon. His career was a fantastic story of music and eminent quality. My greatest moments in Brazilian music were with his profound artistry. He was a good friend. I miss him dearly.
Peter Sprague: Peter is my first and possibly greatest mentor musically. I only took three "lessons" from this unique artist but learned so much from his decades of friendship and music, he pointed me impeccably in the right direction and continues to inspire me with his work.
