I'm a vibraphonist/drummer/composer from Long Island. My music is an organic blend of jazz, bossa nova, latin, rock and roll, country, folk, etc. My two biggest musical influences are Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass, and The Baja Marimba Band. I'm trying to make a modern day continuation of that great music.
