I enjoy the challenge of learning new styles and have a high commitment to the authenticity of each genre while retaining my own personality and sound in the delivery.
In 2003 I had the fortunate opportunity of private instruction from Chuck Silverman in Cuban rhythms (I must say, that guy is the shit and I'm very lucky to have hung out with him!)
