For nearly 40 years I have been playing the trombone. There are few styles of music I have not at least experimented with, and in many cases, worked extensively within, from avant-garde free jazz to political hip-hop (and everything in between). Born in Los Angeles and raised in Northern California, I first started playing professionally in the late 1980s with blues and funk bands. Eventually, I found my way to free jazz and improvised music, and that continues to be where I spend most of my time. After a long hiatus in the early 2000s, I moved with my family to Hungary, where I have re-established myself as a known entity within the improvised music world here in Europe. While I am mostly known for being a free jazz artist, it is my tone that most people mention. Dark, earthy, soulful. I also play pocket trumpet and Turkish zurna. You can hear me on PMG Jazz, and frequently with the band Dunyha.

Trying to build the peaceful and connected world we all want can be deeply isolating. The suffering of our collective failures leads to much bitterness which gives voice to angry, divisive ideas. ‘Say No More’ is a lamentation, but also a determined commitment - we have the knowledge and skills we need to end the worst of suffering and celebrate the best in each other. Let’s not be distracted by the whisperings of others and get to work building the world we deserve to share.
