In jazz, his extensive credits include work with Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Joe Sample, and Weather Report. In the rock arena, he’s worked with David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger, and Sting. And the list goes on, from country great Jerry Douglas to hip-hop leader Queen Latifah, just to scratch the surface.
