ABOUT

I just moved here from San Diego where I played (and still play on occasion) with the top players there since 1980, in small and large bands performing all styles from be bop, commercial jazz, latin, Sinatra style, funk, R&B, surf bands (Beach Boys, 50's - 70's)and even an ABBA tribute group for a while. We played mostly private parties and high-end corporate gigs in small to very large venues. Before living in San Diego I was in Boston,NYC and Miami attending Berklee, then toured and worked with many groups, backing several celebrity acts along the way.
