History
Established in 1990.
I started working with other local musicians before forming my own band. It was comprised of all active duty Air Force members and with re-assignments, the band was forced to dissolve. I took a short hiatus and returned to the local music scene playing with various groups - Second Nature, Planet Soul (now PM Soul), Europa, Groove Doctors, and most recently, The Azul Experience.
I have also had the awesome experience of working with some of the most noted artists in the Smooth Jazz genre. It has been an honor to be local music director / musician for such great talent like: Althea Rene' (Flute), Gerald Albright (Sax), Jeff Lorber (Keyboards), Paul Jackson Jr. (Guitar), Richard Elliott (Sax), Eric Marienthal (Sax), Paul Brown (Guitar), Oli Silk (Keyboards), Four80East (Keys & Percussion), Cindy Bradley (Trumpet), Marian Meadows (Sax), Euge Groove (Sax), Third Force, Phillip "Doc" Martin (Sax), Jeanette Harris (Sax), Jackiem Joyner (Sax), Tom Browne (Trumpet), Rick Braun (Trumpet).
