Show Notes
The monster tenor sax player with Walter Wolfman Washington & the Roadmasters began his tenure with the hard-partying ensemble in 1987, logging countless late nights at the Maple Leaf, Benny’s Bar, and festival performances around the world. His history includes work with stars like Johnny Adams, Snooks Eaglin, Kirk Joseph, Smilin’ Myron, and Alison & the Distractions, as well as playing and recording as leader of his own groups.
