That was my CV/Resumé in one sentence - enough, already! Now, here's a brief update on my current music activities: Over the past year, I've produced recordings for seminal jazz-rock saxophonist Ron Caines (East of Eden, Contemporary Jazz Quintet), Grammy nominated American composer/pianist John Serry, British saxophone giant Paul Dunmall, and avant-garde guitarist/composer Philip Gibbs. In concert, I've been playing piano with Colombian Cumbia Queen - the legendary Totó la Momposina, alongside master drummer Marco Vinicio Oyaga and his fantastic Octet, the M-V-8. Back in the studio, I'm currently playing keyboard sessions for Urban dance music producer Rob Smith - working on tracks for a sequel to the highly respected South African 'MELT 2000' remix compilation and, as leader, mixing my own organ trio recording, a double CD, for early release this summer.
