Jazz, Rock, Fusion, Metal, R&B, Classical. I can give any style of music a chance, provided the concept behind it is strong. Good production can't fix a weak piece of music, and bad production doesn't prevent you from hearing something amazing.Some musicians I enjoy: Scott Henderson, Gary Willis, Scott Kinsey, Kirk Covington, Chris Potter, Wayne Krantz, George Benson, anyone involved on the Thriller record, D'Angelo(VooDoo especially), Michael Hedges, Adam Holtzman, ALice in Chains, Van Halen, Robben Ford, Prince, Kenny Garrett, Michael Brecker, Wayne Shorter, Coltrane, Van Halen, Peter Gabriel, Opeth, Dimmu Borgier, DAATH, Jimmy Herring, Bireli Lagrene, whoever wrote the Picard song, Chromeo, Shuggie Otis, Frank Sinatra, Hall and Oates, Steely Dan, Bill Evans, John Scofield, Shawn Lane and far too many others.A list of people that were kind enough to have the patience to deal with my ignorance at the time to teach me about my instrument: Tim Martin(Roanoke VA), Dave Poole(ATL), Sid Wolfe(ATL), Steve Cunningham(ATL), John Pell(Nashville), Russ Scanlon(Austin), Mitch Watkins(Austin), Trevor Labonte(Austin) and anyone I've ever played a gig with.
