About Me
Thanks for visiting. All audio tracks here (except 'Starting Over') are from my upcoming CD "Kaleidoscope". Musicians onboard include Chris Potter, Doug Weiss, Anton Denner, & Rufus Reid. I'll let you know when it's available. > > > About little ol' me: Born & raised in Illinois farm country (yes, that's what you're smelling), transplanted to the NYC area during college, been busy playing ever since. Name any kind of gig, I've done it - although I may not admit it. > > > Did a lot of touring with various incarnations of Blood, Sweat & Tears in years past; more recent touring with guitarist Chuck Loeb, for whom I also serve as musical director (like he needs one!) RECENTLY PLAYED WITH: Nilson Matta, Mark Murphy, Dave Stryker, Claudio Roditi, Phoebe Snow, Billy Hart, Charles MacPherson, and Joe Morello, and am keeping busy with guitarist Gil Parris and others around NYC. > > > While I've been an all-purpose sideman for most of my career (aside from a brief stint as a panda smuggler), I now have a fledgling band of my own as well, called "No Fun Is Bad". You could file us under "fusion" (no audio to post yet, but there's some live video clips up on my Facebook page) The band features my original tunes, which are mostly funky contrivances accommodating mouth-watering wads of improvisation/interaction/inbreeding, with some of my favorites in clear evidence: Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, The Meters, John Scofield, etc. Ask for us by name... > > > Further reports as events warrant. Peace, MK
