Bang! (2008)
I signed with the Legendary Savoy Records and Columbia Music Entertainment in 2008 and am very happy to be a part of a cool and historic company. Bang! was on the Billboard sales chart for a long time and got a ton a great reviews and radio play. I appreciate the Jazz Record Mart and Best Buy having the cool light boxes of Bang! A relaxed studio recording that I got to bust out some Sop and Alto Flute for. Good Times:)!!!
Mighty Burner (2005)
Mighty Burner was a Hit Record for me. It debuted at #11 on the Billboard Sales Charts and stayed there for 20 straight weeks. I had just done the J-LO, Destiny's Child, and John Legend remixes for Columbia Records which helped and the Maurice Joshua Remix got a ton of Radio Play. I think this album captured the raw energy and vibe of my playing at the time and I am still proud of it. Downbeat Magazine called me and the album, "John Coltrane Energy For The 21st Century" which made me very proud.
Live at the Green Mill (2001)
Live at the Green Mill in 2001. Features Randy Brecker and a rhythm section lead by the great Larry Novak, Eric Hochberg and Paul Wertico. Straight ahead blowing session.
You Talkin' To Me? (1999)
Chicago Tenor Blowing session recorded shortly before their mini tour which capped off at the Chicago Jazz Festival.
Pins 'n' Needles (1999)

Cut It Out! (1998)
My debut CD for Delmark featuring Ira Sullivan, Willie Pickens, Brian Sandstrom, Robert Shy and Rusty Jones. Ira played with everyone from Charlie Parkie to you name it. Willie played recorded extensively with Eddie Harris in the 1960's became a band director for 25 years than joined Elvin Jones band in the early 1990's. Brian played recorded with Joe Daley, Hal Russell, NRG Ensemble, etc. Robert spent a long time touring with Roland Kirk and Rust spent a long time with George Shearing. Needless to say, I had known this musicians all since I was 13 or 14 years old and they brought a great wealth of coolness to my life and his recording. Louie Bellson wrote the liner notes and was a great mentor, boss and friend.
