Hi. thanks for popping in . whether you are an old friend or a new one i sincerly appreciate your visit. Its always been a task for one to write about oneself, at least for me it has been tough. I suppose its cliche’ to assume that one should " let the music speak for itself" personally I’ve never been a fan of that saying.Music is special for me, its always been a joy to perform with other like minded spirits. I suppose it was natural to gravitate to jazz ,since interaction is of the utmost importance .I was lucky to have support and encouragement from my mother and father and there kindness was followed up with Pat Martino and Dennis Sandole.Thinking about it now i had no idea just how fortunate i really was.Through there tutelage i was able to finally get the courage participate in jam sessions in philadelphia, it was at ortliebs Jazzhaus that was my first introduction to interacting with world class players who much like my parents, Dennis,and Pat were extremely supportive and insightful.It was there where i was able to perform with the likes of Mickey Roker, Trudy Pitts, Joey Defrancesco, and many other fantastic players.The jazz thing was the shit but i was always into other types of music. I’d like to think of myself as a chamealeon as far as being able to adapt to any musicial situation that i’m in, its something that i take a lot of pride in.These situations have opened doors to many collaborations with rock , r&b, hip hop , and funk projects that have introduced me to many great musicians that i wouldnt have met otherwisewell the bio will continue , i just hope you like my tunesthanks Larry
