About Me

I play piano, sometimes keyboards. I live in Brooklyn. I play jazz plus "other". Been playing regularly in bands led by Bob Reynolds and Michael Blanco, also playing from time to time with Travis Sullivan's Bjorkestra. I've played with a number of great singers, including Jennifer Hudson, Shayna Steele, Sachal Vasandani, JC Chasez, Fantasia Barrino, Rosey, Chester Gregory...I'm also going on the American Music Abroad (formerly "Jazz Ambassadors") tour next year with a great quartet, headin to the middle east. Thanks for reading.
