After six years as a pro trumpet player, eight years as a director at the Robert Stigwood Organisation, managing hit groups The Marbles and Atomic Rooster, representing two Eurovision song winners and arranging concerts with stars like Alison Moyet, Ella Fitzgerald, Oscar Peterson, The Hollies, Cream, The Foundations, The Who, Artie Shaw, Buddy Greco and The Rat Pack, I have returned to my musical roots and concentrated on jazz and jazz related music.
