Drummer, author, app & record company owner (Fuzzy Music), professor emeritus USC. Father of @mayaerskine & Taichi, married to @spintheclay, loves taking photos
- Wayne Shorter & Joni Mitchell, 1978 (A&M Studio, during the recording of the “Mingus” album)
- Joe Zawinul and Jaco Pastorius on the beach in Cuba, 1979.
- I had a request for more photos of Jaco on-stage. The best ones I have were taken by photographer Shigeru Uchiyama, while most of my own snapshots were captured either backstage or during an outing with Jaco on the streets somewhere while on tour. This is a cropped photo of Jaco
- Happy Birthday in heaven to Elvin Jones, pictured here trying to show me how to properly handle a cigarette while still playing the drums and looking hip. I could never do what he could do (nor could anyone else). Happy Birthday, Elvin!
- Very honored to receive this recognition along with drumming sisters Sheila E, Terri Lyne Carrington & brothers Dennis Chambers, Omar Hakim, Steve Smith & Eddie Bayers last night during an enjoyable dinner w the Zildjian family & team. Really looking forward to tonight’s 400th
- Rest In Peace, Neil. You were as brilliant as you were humble, and truly one of the most remarkable men I've come to know. Keep swingin'.
