His vast musical Rolodex has earned him the reputation as a diversified drummer and he has merited accolades from the traditional jazz community, smooth jazz enthusiasts, and music fans of various genres. His illustrious sideman career has put him in front of audiences all over the world with artists such as Hank Jones, Chris Botti, Dave Holland, Ahmad Jamal, and others.
