In venues from NYC’s Lincoln Center to the San Francisco Blues Festival\, the Moscow International Performing Arts Centre to Le Meridien Etoile’s Jazz Club in Paris\, he has collaborated with scores of world-class musicians. Jay McShann\, Albert Collins\, Louis Bellson\, Joe Williams\, James Cotton\, Billy Boy Arnold\, Otis Clay\, Gerald Levert\, Joey McIntyre\, Bobby Brown\, Taj Mahal\, The Fabulous Thunderbirds\, Victor Wainwright\, and Roomful of Blues are but a handful of world-renowned artists who have recognized his extraordinary talent.
