Born and raised in the City of Brotherly Love, Bobby is a product of the sounds of Philly: Harold Melvin, MFSB, the O’Jays, and the Stylistics. Influenced by a musical family, Bobby taught himself to play by listening to recordings by Billy Cobham, Narada Michael Walden, Airto, and Peter Erskine. He developed his love for jazz while attending Howard University. Always a crowd pleaser, he’s known for his energy and infectious grooves.

Mike began studying jazz at Virginia Tech playing electric bass in combo classes. After a 15 year hiatus, he continued his studies with Anthony Wellington. In ‘03, he made a commitment to straight-ahead jazz and the double bass. Mike formed his own quartet and landed gigs with local artists Tara Hofmann, Sandy Asirvatham, Mike Fore, and Kevin Mittleman. He has played with local legend Buck Hill and done studio work with bass great, Victor Wooten.

I had the awesome privaledge to share the bandstand with the late great Marchel Ivery. One of Texas' own, a true giant on the tenor sax. These pic's of him, Benny Medina and myself were taken during a set break at the Catalina room April 2007.
