For over 30 years, he has received international acclaim as the consummate percussionist, performing and recording with a veritable who's who of the jazz world, including such luminaries as Miles Davis, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Ron Carter, Randy and Michael Brecker, John Scofield, George Duke, Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz, and many others.
