Influences: Life influences me...every day there is a fresh start and a new beginning - so essentially everything is constantly changing. Hence my draw to this improvisational form of art. It is the ultimate expression of freedom and passion. I try to listen to as much music as I can- jazz, classical, anything.
Michel Petrucciani is probably my biggest musical influence. In addition other influences are: Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, Mulgrew Miller, Kenny Barron, Bill Charlap, Eldar, Art Tatum, Miles Davis, McCoy Tyner, Monty Alexander, Bud Powell, Duke Ellington, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Bobby Timmons, Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane, Marcus Roberts, Hank Jones, Stephane Grapelli, Renee Rosnes, Wayne Shorter, Mike Gerber, Jim Hall, Cedar Walton, Michel Legrand, Frank Sinatra, Andre Previn, Kenny Werner, Walter Davis Jr., my brother Max, friends, collegues, fellow musicians...
