Bottom photos are also from April 8th, 2016 at St James Live Jazz Club with recording artist, Vel Lewis, piano extraordinaire, and Michael Paulo, sax extraordinaire. They both flew in to do a couple of sets, and they did not disappoint the crowd. Excellent performance by both. Was once again honored to play with some very gifted and talented players, and pleased that they choose me to be their bass player.

PROFILE - My earlier recording sessions and touring started with a very wonderful lady by the name of IRMA THOMAS. Video #1 is a recording of me playing bass behind Irma Thomas at the New Orleans Jazz Festival. I am on 4 albums with the latest, the song "New Rules" on the "The Soul Queen of New Orleans" Album released in 2011.

As indicated by the last album, Irma Thomas is the "Soul Queen of New Orleans" and it was an honor and pleasure to know her. By her fame, we traveled the world playing her music alongside such artists such as SANTANA, and B.B.KING, and I "must say," because of my contact with these artists my vision of what it takes to be professional musician became clear.

You will find pictures of two of the many albums cover in my photo section where I have played bass on in my bass playing career with the song "BABY I LOVE YOU in video #1, Song #3 on my list, and #2 on the album "The Way I Feel.". You will also find a list of musicians which including my name for one of the albums, "New Rules" at "://.cduniverse/search/xx/music/pid/1002943/a/New+Rules.htm". Enjoy,

Note: Just added "For You Glory" (Song #4 - 6/5/2012) with a dynamic and very controlled singer name Cliff Coolie. Because of copyright reason, you hear the end of the song, but even with this, you can feel the level of intensity and focus of Cliff, demonstrating his vocal range and control. Walter has proven to be an excellent writer with a gift to write many songs and they all have very different feels. Between Cliff, Walter, and Bruce as the Technical Engineer, the songs keep coming. Good luck to them all.

Song #1 named "Apple of my Eye" by Vonda Williamson with the vocals to come is still a shining star in my bass creativity. I expect her to bring that track to life with her energy and vocal ability, with the help of Bruce Brown one of the best producers in the business. In "Apple of my Eye" I am doing the bass, and solo going out.

I am playing the bass tracks on all of the songs except "B Side", "Choices", "Te Quiero", and "Mercy Mercy Mercy" where I am not playing the bass, but the lead (guitar sounding) melodies. I enlisted the talents of another bass player to make these songs happen. Enjoy.

THIS IS MY MUSICAL RESUME. The song list "above" represents a cross-section of the many forms of music I play. Even though this is a small cross-section of contemporary gospel, jazz, rap, and hip-hop, to neo-soul, and blues there is more, as I continue to seek the challenges that new forms of music bring. I have also attached videos of the different groups I have had the honor of playing for as they have also helped me to expand my abilities.

GOAL:

I am always looking for serious group(s) interested in doing their best and taking their craft to higher levels. I play it all, from gospel to funk, with a lot of R&B and Neo-Soul for a good mix. I can be contacted mostly anytime. I am just one with dreams of doing more. I do wish to expand with a group to a different level with my talents being added to the many others that will, in the end, make a difference in the musical world as seen by "Choices" and "Te Quiero" where I play the melody with a 2nd bass player playing the bass in a live session. Check out "Choices" and "Te Quiero" and tell me what you think. "Go Figure" in the song list is a Neo-Soul with great potential and already rave reviews at her last performance. The bassline was one that I enjoyed creating. On "Cry Out" I start the song with what sounds like the guitar intro but is real bass. These tracks show my versatility and ability to do more than play bass when needed. If you read this far thanks for the time you gave me, and please send me info on you that I may do the same. Remember "time" is our most valuable asset so use it wisely.
