This is my space to exhibit what I know is missing in live music--IMPROVISATION!!! Musicians have skills but we keep regurgitating stuff out there to please the musically-challenged masses...Miles Davis would probably tell them to kiss his ass, if he were still performing today ;)For now, here are some studio tracks and/or live sessions so you can get an idea of what I do. CURRENTLY, I'm in the UK (London, to be specific) so while I'm here, I need all London music cats to link with me as they can and desire to. And if you can make any show I'm in, I'd be happy to meet you all to network, but also just so you can enjoy some good music ;)peace!P.S.--for those who don't know, I give love to the ATL, and honorable mention to Sea-town, but if they ask me where I'm from, I can only really say BROOKLYN!
