His distinctive avant-garde jazz, funk, and soul stylings attract fellow musicians and the jazz community to his live appearances, especially at the Williamsburg Music Center, which he founded 41 years ago. The only black-owned jazz club in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, WMC is a musical laboratory and club that fosters young artists and hosts popular Friday and Saturday night jam sessions.
This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and by the Howard Gilman Foundation.
