Welcome to my website. Beyond a self-promotional tool, it was created as a way of showing and connecting the different music circles that I work in that rarely cross paths. I've been blessed to work in 48 countries all over the world with legendary, Grammy Award winning artists from the jazz world, the pop world, fusion world, Afro-Cuban and Brazilian music worlds and beyond. This collection is not a complete list of my work. This website is basically a means of developing work. It will continue to develop over time. Thank you for visiting and please drop me a note at the end in the 'Contact' tab to say hello and/or to give any suggestions on making this a better website.
