"Just returned back to the US from an amazing two weeks in England.. great shows, weather and time well spent with Sister Sledge & company...What a blessing it is to travel the world doing something you love! In addition to my time in England my band and I had some other amazing performances opening for Morris Day and the Time at the Houston Wine Festival and also performing at the Las Vegas Jazz Fest.. a month on the road.... September was a blur!!

"Here are some pics from my latest travels & performances.. Enjoy!" -DA

"What a great time in Switzerland at the Caribana Music Festival!! Switzerland is simply breathtaking.." -DA

March 2013- "I just returned home from a 3 week Tour of Europe with Sister Sledge and some of my Funk heroes! 12 cities in 3 weeks...we were on the move! As a Musical Director on a tour of that magnitude you are forced to be stretched and motivated in so many ways...what an educating experience I'll never forget! All of the Artists and musicians performed at top notch caliber and brought some serious soul/funk to the table!

What I loved about it most was the "hang time" away from the stage. Three weeks of traveling together & living out of tour buses, hotels and airplanes you really get to see another side of people's lives...these are the memories and experiences that will last a lifetime. Here are some pics from the tour... Enjoy!" -DA

DA ON YOUR RADIO!

Had a great trip to the Island of Cyprus with Sister Sledge!
It's always great to be able to travel and perform with people you enjoy working with...

Practicing has also been on my agenda for things to do more than ever. Practicing has to become a way of life...gotta learn to love it. Lately I've been studying out of David Baker's "How to Play Bebop" and Bob Mintzer's "The Master Class-The Music of Bob Mintzer."

Giant Steps... URGGH!!! This song is always a work in progress but I'm enjoying the journey!
