I’m a jazz drummer and bandleader based in New York City. My drumming and bandleading have developed together as two different aspects of the music I love to play. I love putting together my favorite musicians into ideal combinations, picking the most interesting music for each instrumentation, and then immersing myself in the music we make.
These bands represent musical projects that I’ve developed over the course of my lifetime. Each is based around a particular instrumentation, repertoire, stylistic concept, and core group of musicians.
Trumpet-Tenor Saxophone Quintet A quintet drawing inspiration primarily from the brilliantly inventive compositions of trumpeter Kenny Dorham, saxophonist Joe Henderson and others featured on classic Blue Note recordings of the 1960s.
