His credits in the 1980s included work with Bill Pierce, Donald Brown, the Artie Shaw Orchestra under the direction of Dick Johnson, and Geoff Keezer. In the 1990s he performed with Marvin "Smitty" Smith and Clifford Jordan, also playing with his own big band in New York City. Pianist / vocalist Kelly Green and her partner, bassist Luca Soul Rosenfeld turned their living room into a top-notch intimate performance space where they have been performing, recording, and cultivating an arts community since 2020. write your comments about the article :: © 2022 Jazz News :: home page |
