I started playing Dixieland music from the 1920's when I turned professional at age 11 in NYC. By age 16 I specialized in that plus Swing Era music from the 30's & 40's, Bebop and Rock&Roll from the 50's & 60's, Disco from the 70's. After College I worked with the Blues Brothers, Coasters, Drifters, O'Jays, Platters, Temptations, Gloria Gaynor plus the Ringling Bros/Barnum&Bailey Circus. I have recorded my own music and played on dozens of recording sessions for other artists.
