Band Website: you're looking at it.
Band Members: I perform with a whole lot of folks- I'll be putting up tracks from recent and not-so recent gigs from time to time so you can hear what I'm up to.
The tracks up now- "Voyage"(Kenny Barron) is with Matt Ray and Aaron Thurston, "Undertow" is my original featuring Terrell Stafford, John Cowherd, and Vins Valega, and "Claire de Lune" is my arrangement of the Debussy hit with Myron Walden, Danny Grissett (on that beautiful upright piano), and Quincy Davis.
