Influences
Trane, Brecker, Yardbird, Rollins, Weather Report, James Brown, Maceo Parker, Kirk Whalum. Just about every artist I've ever listened to has had some impact on me. Some good, some not so good. You should never stop learning from any experiences you have.
Sounds Like
I don't know. I don't TRY to sound LIKE anyone. Although I admire many artists, my sound is MINE. At least I like to think so.................................................

I am a Sax player, living and working in the Dallas area. I have been playing for. let's just say, "a lot of years" however, this is somewhat of a renaissance for me. I gave up the music business for a period of about 15 years and just started playing again back in 1998 thanks to the encouragment and support from my wife of 15 years, Michele.
The DFW (Dallas/Fort Worth) area is rich with many excellent, world class musicians and entertainers and I am proud to know many of them.
Hey Rob!!Thanks for keeping in touch. You are a true doll. I've been face down working on cd's # 3 and 4. Working on a jazzy and a straight up Chi-town get off your butt and jam one. Id love to get you on the smooth and sexy cd. Holla!
It was my pleasure and we had a blast. Carmen and Ana want to come with me next time too. Carmen is finding her parts on your songs to add to my set;-) Get Ready to sing more on my gig dude...you rock.
Hey Rob!!! So good to hear from you. Breggs and I were celebrating her AMAZING nomination at Memphis and i was hoping to listen to your smooth grooves. If i dont go to Chicago friday, i'll come check you out at Ovations. Take care my brotha!
I am so grateful to just be on the list. I don't know how far God will take me but at least He's shown me that the Recording Academy thinks that I'm qualified enough to make the dawg on list. It is enough for me to keep making music.
Hey Rob!!! How are you my friend? Always good to hear from you. Thanks, I really appreciate that. When do you go back in the lab? I would love to collab with you if you'd like. Keep in touch.
