Most memorable Next-Level Performance
Performing all over the world with NEA Jazz Master Randy Weston the composer of the standard "Hi-Fly". Randy's music requires you to be skilled in numerous West African rhythms applied to the drum set. To be able to perform for the last 8 years of his life with him definitely allowed me to unlock my highest level of playing with one of our greatest jazz masters. I am forever humbled by the experience. -
