About Me

JAZZ / FUSION / ECLECTIC / POST BE-POP

I've been playing drums professionally over 35 years and bridged the fusion gap while at Berklee College of Music in the late 70's.

I love the jazz tradition and what improvisation brings to the table for all genres. I've played in rock bands, jazz trios, R&B bands, country bands, jazz/classical groups, classical orchestras, intense B3 groups, experimental ensembles, etc.
