I play a diverse number of styles, but my forte is pro-jazz - mainly a smooth-jazz/fusion blend with Old School Funk. Yes, hard to describe, but when I put all this together and you hear it...you'll understand. Registered with ASCAP; family is from a jazz heritage...(you would know my Uncle - Oscar Pettiford).
- How I Work:
I create by sequencing, rehearsal, and live performance. I get a lot of last minute calls - ready to perform at any given time...even stuff I've never played before - by ear.
