I grew up with Al Jarreau. We had a band together and worked these places for three years when neither one of us knew we could make a living doing music.

I work with many jazz artists as Miles Davis, Laughlin, etc.. One of the things all these artists had in common is that they had no fear.

I also hope that with the assistance and expertise of Dome Records, that I will be able to further pierce the UK and European market. I really like playing there and I want to do more! I've found that the audiences get quite involved and really listen to what's happening.

I would much prefer that they take me as I am, that way the experience is genuine between the both of us.

I mean this record does not sound like somebody's maiden voyage.

When I think about my new CD, the word 'joy' comes to mind. I sincerely hope that each listener will feel the earth, spirit, and aggressive creativity emanating from this album.
