Many incredible bands, one seasoned bandleader

My forte is developing great bands with unique personnels, repertoires and styles. My sidemen are world-class artists who regularly perform at New York’s top jazz venues, such as Smalls, Blue Note, Birdland, The Village Vanguard, and Jazz at Lincoln Center.
