Sometimes the audience at a concert gets an impromptu lesson in speaking French.😄

Life is a song. 🎹 🎶

Loved seeing this beautiful sunset over the water on the Dave Koz & Friends at Sea cruise. 🌅 🌊

📸 I'm having so much fun sharing these photos and memories with you from various projects I've been a part of over the years!

I recently came across Nahre Sol on Instagram and was so impressed with the way she broke down this Chick Corea lick.🎼 🎹 The Chick’s lick is over the chord changes of “Giant Steps”, a classic standard and a rite of passages for all jazz musicians…;) What do you think?

I have a secret lair where I keep my gold and platinum records (no dragons in the lair). 🐲 I thought it might be fun to take you on a little tour! ✨

Here's a look at more of the gold and platinum records from inside my lair. 💿 I hope you enjoy!

One more video from my Staircase of Fame! I hope you've enjoyed this trip down Memory Lane as much as I have! ✨ I've got more wall space to fill and plenty of music left to make... so stay tuned for more and download my app using the link in my bio for exclusive content! 📲

✨ I’m so happy to be joining Al Di Meola's band again. 🎼 🎹 I auditioned for Al's first band after he left Return To Forever and embark on his stellar solo career around 1977! I was part of his original band until 1982. Can't wait for this epic reunion! 🎉

So many great records and memories from throughout the years! 🎹 🎼 It’s so special how music brings people together all over the world. 🎶 A gift.

It was so great to reconnect with the legendary drummer Steve Ferrone (AWB, Bee Gees, Tom Petty) for a session in his studio recently. 🥁 I have known him since I was 12 years old and we have done numerous sessions together since then in New York. 🎼

Here’s the final bit of video from my Valerian Lair tour. 🎥 Thanks for playing along. I hope you’ve enjoyed these as much as I have! ✨🎹

These are a few of the proudest moments in my music career so far. 🎹 What about you? What’s your proudest moment? 👇 Share it in the comments.👇

Chaka Khan’s “I Feel For You” was my first session in NYC and started my studio career! 🎹 The song was released in October of 1984 and became a legendary hit, winning a Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female and peaked at No.3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. ✨🎼

Here’s an update on my friend Al Di Meola and the updated tour plans. 🎼 Wishing Al a continued and full recovery and very much looking forward to playing music with him again soon. 💙
