PROJECTS:
Select from the drop-down menu on the navigational link "projects" to read about some of the current projects I am leading, arranging and writing music for.
I also lead and form other projects for many other styles of music. Check out my repertoire for a few ideas. I believe that one of my greatest talents is being at home in some very different styles of music. Although I am known in Los Angeles as a musician who works in Jazz, Brazilian and Cape Verdean music, I am equally at home and love other styles.
For example when I write my own materiel its draws upon anything from rock or neo-soul to country or classical music. I am a veteran of R&B, funk and blues groups with Rudy Love, Hazel Miller, Billy Tolles and Vinx. I started out in Bluegrass and salsa believe it or not and have later on picked up the Cuban tres and toured with the Celtic rock group Low and Sweet Orchestra.
I call it "genre-Jumping" and although it may be hard to believe or some styles dont appeal to everyone, I truly love it all!
