I play creative music in NYC and California primarily, but anywhere else sounds just dandy. As a double bassist I play a variety of interesting things, from jazz to contemporary notated music, to solo imporivised treatises on time and consonance.///////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////Tr ack info:::1.
