He has performed worldwide, collaborated and recorded with artists as diverse as Yo-Yo Ma, Bette Midler, Eddie Gomez, John Patitucci, Robert Duvall, Mark Egan, Manolo Badrena, Paquito D'Rivera and the 12 cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic among many others. With 34 albums as a solo artist, he received the 2013 ConEdison Composers Residency Award, a 2013 New Music USA Grant, and a Belgian Artistic Promotion Award at the Europe Jazz Contest 1999.
