Influences: les mccann , ramsey lewis,eddie harris , war , cab calloway , louis jordan , ethel merman , yusef lateef , van halen ( but only with diamond dave and only up to "FAIR WARNING" ) and mocean worker. ( did I just actually write that?!?! .............sorry ) BUT...my biggest musical influence is Wolf...yes STEVEN ROBERT WOLF of NORTH BOWMAN AVENUE , LOWER MERION PA.....he is basically my guru. Kevin Calabro is also a pretty damn big influence on everything I do.
Sounds Like: If jazz from the 1930's got in a fist fight with jazz from the 1960's and fought to a 15 round split decision.Or better yet...Think of the best music you've ever heard getting into a knife fight with the second best music you have ever heard! Think Ramsey Lewis meets Jerry Lewis and thats "the MOWO! sound®©" ( 85% ramsey lewis by the way 10% Jerry.....5% "inert ingredients" ) ( some assembly required ) ( void in maine )
