Favorite Genres:

Early jazz up through jazz now but also classic pop from all eras. I love to listen to and play any GOOD music. Heavy big beat swing to mixed meter, avant-garde,fusion, blues, motown, contemporary dance music hell yes, indie rock, and most importantly my own music. Here's a link to my 2015 album debut Top Dead Center featuring Alex Skolnick, Kenny Grohowski (Felix Pastorius) David Cook (Taylor Swift) Al Street (Marva Whitley) Adam Niewood, Roy Dunlap(Morgan James) and 20 other NYC musicians who really throw down on this 11 track funk jazz soul stew!
