I’ll be playing with the dynamic seven time Grammy Award-winning duo, Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr! This will be a really fun how, so I highly recommend you check it out if you’re in that the Philippines at that time. If you’ve got friends and/or family there , please let them know. It’s a fun, and high quality musical performance! They’ll be glad they came. To my best knowledge, this is our only show in the Philippines. There was talk of another show but that show was not confirmed.

Music is one such “weapon”. My friend Kenwood Dennard would say that music is a type of “non-violent fist”.

So, I’m about about to do my part tonight and tomorrow and spread some peace down here in San Diego w/ my brother Lennox. Check the calendar for details. Come be peace with us.

In Summer 2009 I went to Japan for 2 months and did a lot of playing. Some friends and I had been trying to get together to work on some music for quite a while and I finally managed to get myself over there. We (the band AND the fans) enjoyed a lot of super-charged magical musical moments during that trip. We’d like to share some of those with you. I call this project the Phunk Organik Society. My friends Moto and Hiroshi spent the better part of 20 years playing on the Chicago RnB scene playing with Sugar Blue and Mavis Staples among others. These guys are the best of the best and I’m privileged to be able to play with them.
