But it was Chick Corea and his sextet Origin that provide the real training for this talented bass player. After releasing 4 albums under Corea’s Stretch label he decided to venture out on his own, forming his own trio and his own label, Razdaz Recordz. A consummate performer and composer his tunes are some of the finest modern jazz compositions around and may become the standards for the next generation.
