I have had the pleasure of improvising with Omer Tamez, Matana Roberts, Frank Gratkowski, Maggie Nichols.
I am also a regular improviser in the Houston music community.Michelle Yom,describes this community in a recent article in the Rice Radio Folio. A PDF of the issue is available here. I also participate in improvisation in other idioms. I play free jazz/ska/afro-beat/hip hop/ salsa/ rhumba/ cumbia with Free
Radicals and I play jazz with Cory Wilson, Sonia Flores, and other Houston jazz musicians. I
frequently play improvised music at Avant Garden and Khon's Coffee, Wine, Darts, Art as a
part of They, Who Sound and Resonant Interval Sound Series.
I also play in the duo Ghost Nebula. Click on Upcoming
Concerts for more information.
