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 a 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!
