As a young musician, he studied with his father and grandfather, who were processional pianists in Detroit, Michigan. He started playing piano at six years old and the trumpet at age 10.

He has performed with musicians such as Jon Faddis, Phil Woods, Gerald Wilson, Patti Austin, Rodney Whitaker, Wess Anderson, Antonio Hart, Lynn Roberts, and Christian McBride.

Ice will be available if needed, wine keys and 9oz cups provided! 22 free parking spaces onsite are first-come-first-serve.
