The Beast creates music to engage/enrage one's mentality, and impassion their bodies to get up and move - on the dance floor and into their communities.

Orquesta GarDel is North Carolina’s 11-piece salsa supergroup (I am co-director and pianist).

Four String Samurai, a hilarious long-form improv comedy troupe that I accompany.

Zenph, I work for a revolutionary music software company.

Blackademics, blog of Beast emcee, Pierce Freelon.

Peter Kimosh, my first-call bassist for many years.

Stephan Coffman, ditto, but for drums.

Andy Kleindienst, and trombone.

John Brown, Durham jazz legend, with whom I often play.

Steve Hobbs, a fine local vibes player.

I Was Totally Destroying It is your next favorite power-pop band and it happens to feature my sister, Rachel.

Carolbeth True is an amazing jazz and classical pianist in St. Louis, MO. She taught me how to play.

Tyson Rogers now makes his living in Nashville, but taught me jazz in high school and has a few really nifty jazz albums.
