I'm mostly playing original  hard swinging Hard Bop Jazz pieces, with occasssional  funky Post-Bop Jazz sessions, with talented musicians, and bandleaders, in the great studios of New York City.

When I'm not practicing my studio set lists, I'm spending plenty time mastering Jazz standards, just to keep my skills sharp, and also keeping my Hip Hop breakbeat chops solid as well.
