My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 10/1/2006
Band Members:

The Charmed Life is my first recording as a leader. I have 3 great Detroit cats playing on it: Bill Higgins-Drums, Rob Pipho-Vibes and Phil Kelly-Piano. I play bass and I wrote all of the compositions. I am lucky to have such a stellar cast on my CD! In April 2008 The Charmed Life won the Detroit Music Award for Outstanding Jazz Recording!Below is link to Tunnel and Bridge. This is a duo record I did with my old friend, John Barron. It is a duo cd of guitar and bass. This recording includes dedications to drummer Alberto Rosal and singer Odessa Harris. Alberto and Odessa were great Detroit musicians who have passed on. We miss them.
