While and after attending the University of Arkansas at
Little Rock, I had the opportunity to work with a variety of
jazz artists such as Art Porter, Art Porter Jr., Jack
DeJohnette, Pharoah Sanders, Herb Ellis, Ace Cannon
and more.
Music, in all forms, is a passion and I'm always happy
when performing.. I'm a multi-instrumentalist and play
guitar, bass and keyboard. It's great to earn at living at
something you love!
A few reviews of my CD "Santa Rosa" are listed below.
Hope you check it out! Thanks for stopping by my site...I
look forward to hearing from you!

Soft and Relaxing!
Wonderful, relaxing music. Perfect for cocktail or
dinner party background music! Love Misty Nights and
Sway.

Solid!
Santa Rosa opens with the title track, a great bass and
piano groove, setting the tone for the rest of the CD.
Some of the sax work reminds me of Jay Beckinstein
from Spyro Gyra, except on tenor rather than Jay's
trademark alto sax. The CD is a great mix of original
works and standards, including one of my favorite
bossa nova charts, "Wave" by Antonio Carlos Jobim -
the guy who wrote "The Girl from Impanema."
Black's guitar style shows that he's paid his dues,
with some serious Joe Pass-influenced work. Another
highest recommendation - "Buy this CD!"

Extraordinary!
This CD is a great! With you in mind (track#2) absolutely stirs the soul).
The production, the arrangement, and the musicians are star quality. Get
comfortable, pop in the CD, get a glass of wine (a close friend), relax and
enjoy!
