Influences
Home was filled with music, so I was listening to early Jazz and Rock from the age of 5 and fortunate to grow up playing drums in the 50s' and 60s', with all of the great music the era had to offer.
Influences include all eras of Jazz musicians, especially 50s' & 60s'. Also the best Rock/Folk/Blues acts, from 50s', through the present.
