I compose, arrange, play guitars, bass, keyboards, tenor sax, rap, sing.. I just do my thing.. I played in the well known SF bay area fusion band CLOUDS in the 70s.. and before the days of all this bling I spent 2 years in the late 70s with THE DAVID LA FLAMME BAND touring the states.. sex drugs rock and roll.. had it all.. EVERYTHING.. but I wouldn't trade for what I got now.. my own way.. my own music.. my own thing..

an award winning composer of chamber music with university honors and published and recorded compositions.. I've played with, among others, woody shaw, jon hendricks, julian priester and mike nock.. I'm no longer a cover tune or mainstream artist, rather a jazz musician who believes in world music as trane did.. seeking to blend many genres into a fresh and innovative style of jazz..



after many years on the axe I've finally done 2 CDs showing my style.. RAPSTER GUITARS IT.. 15 original songs and collabs featuring syntopia, redeyeC, margot du bois, TLT50, and big daddy cee.. then new is RAPSTER GUITARS IT 2.. with 12 original songs and collabs.. all you guitar lovers should buy them.. :-)

find our way home corrado and i have wanted to collab for a long time.. it was worth the wait as he sent me one of the most beautiful smooth jazz tracks i've ever heard.. I couldn't help but let it all flow out yesterday in about 4 hours to mastered mix.. I even palyed with clean tone again for a change.. lol.. thank you corrado for the great music and lovely piano solo.. :-) the lyrics refer metaphorically to our human condition..

smooth jazz
