He has been featured with Jon Batiste on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, played with Wynton Marsalis at Jazz at Lincoln Center and in Rock and Rock Hall of Famer Steve Miller's annual blues concerts. 

In addition, he has written and produced tributes to jazz legends such as John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderly at major venues and jazz festivals.
