Influences: My music is rooted in a multi-faceted space. I was trained as a concert artist on the guitar, so I have that background. I have released a cd on the On Mu Music (ASCAP) catelog of my playing on 'A Classical Guitar Recital of Spanish Music', featuring works of Sor, Tarrega, Ponce amongst others. I was probably most recognized for many years as an element of New York's lower east side edged artists community, where the music that spawned the ranks of musicians who fill the Vision Festival events (visionfest.com)...aka avant garde/free jazz.....caused for an unique identity and sub-cultural attribute. However, stints with Sun Ra and Don Ayler earlier on helped to set foundations and points of view. Fela was an aquaintance...people who directly affected me in strong ways...but I love really everthing and listen to everything..and that is the truth.....country is not my preference, but listen to it to keep my fingure onthe pulse...but what I love most is hard funk styles with high intensities and a big sound.
Sounds Like: .....jagged jazzes over eliptic pulse beats...captivating....mesmerizing.....like chewing aluminum foil.....
