Hey Rosa,
I'm very fortunate to have been involved in many great sessions and to have worked with so many great musicians. Now it's even more awesome to encounter this site and all of the great musicians in it. Hopefully in the future we can get something going :-)
Hi Rosa !! Thanks for saying hello. yea... folks don't realize how small nyc actually is and how you can see folks in the street on a daily basis . Hope you're groovin'and see you at another jam session hopefully...
Thanks Rosa. it was a blast doin' the album with guitarist Tony Smotherman. I still pinch myself over being on a CD with Jon Reshard, Derek Sherinian, and Mohan Vishwa Baht. It's really fun when I get to do the power trio thing with Jon and Tony. Anyways, Rosa, I dig your sound, and you sound great swingin'( my favorite music)!! One love
