I just love to play. Looking for people to jam with and if it goes that way, I'm all set to play out. I play Contemporary Jazz, Old School R&B, and some POP and Reggae. I play a variety of each, from George Duke, Ronnie Laws, Jill Scott and Spyro Gyra and others, for Jazz. I've played behind a lot of Soulful ladies singing Chaka Kahn, Anita Baker, Jill Scott and Soulful male voices singing everything from EWF, Stevie Wonder, Maze, Micheal Jackson, Isley Brothers, Luther Vandross, Jeffrey Osborn and others. I've also gigged with bands doing Steely Dan and David Sanborn and Toto. I'm open, as long as it's good music.
