A professional bassist, composer, vocalist and recording artist for 40 years. Recording, tours of Germany, Switzerland and the Caribbean. Successful musical careers in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Baltimore/Washington.
In the last several years, I have focused my artistic pursuits towards mastering the Chapman Stick developed by the late Emmett Chapman who was personally involved with the building of my instrument. This is a 12 stringed, fretted instrument played by employing a two-hand string tapping technique, uniquely developed by Emmett. The instrument gives the player the ability to execute multiple parts at the same time.
I specialize in creating music that blends elements of jazz, blues and rock. My music is inspired by legends such as Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix. I love experimenting with different sounds and incorporating this unique instrument into my artistry.
